I have a lump in my buttock crack that hurts. What can I do to ease the pain?

Hello Ma'am,

Sometimes this symptom is related to a pilonidal cyst, a relatively common condition that requires a doctor's intervention. In short, if this lump has appeared over several days and not as a result of a false move or blow, it is best to see a doctor within the next 7 days. Conversely, if the bump appeared quickly or following a blow, it is better to consult more quickly.

While waiting for the consultation, one avoids rubbing or snagging the bump (ex.One does not do sit-ups), one can apply Voltaren Emulgel™ to the bump twice a day and ice for 10 minutes every hour.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
