Pilonidal cyst lump pain
I have a small lump on my lower back at the top of buttocks.
It pains when I sit and sleep on my back. When I tried to understand by going through online, I see my condition is very likely to be the pilonidal cysts.
I have this from 4 weeks. I tried home remedys to put garlic on the affected area and turmeric. The lump and pain reduced but again from 2 days its swollen.
I am 26, Male. No other conditions I have.
I want to get rid of this soon since its affecting my daily routines a lott.

It COULD BE an infection of the hair follicle in the perianal buttock area.. or could be a pilonidal cyst like you are presuming.. we need to examine and see if you might have to see a surgeon for draining the pus collection in the area. Also need to know if there is coexisting diabetes in the patient and need to know history of any drug allergies. I would suggest to get these details cleared up with a doctor before starting the treatment. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
