Sounds a lot like something my son has right now.I took him to dr and they took a culture.Should hear back soon although we just think it is a bacterial infection.I was told warm baths with as bacterial soap helps a lot.It help bring his to the surface so it was easier to drain.Im usually the last to recommend going to a dr but you might want to for this kind of thing.Maybe they can give you an antiboitic.GL. *FYI-If you drain it,please disinfect everything because you dont want it to spread.*

YOU MAY HAVE HEMROIDS ALSO KNOWN AS HEMOROIDS

My son had the same thing when he was 17, it was a pilonidal cyst, he had to have outpatient surgery to get to the core of it, if you lance it , it will come back they will go in and take the whole thing out, it leaves a hugs hole in your back that will have to be packed with gauze, i went through the nightmare with my son, he healed is fine now, it is more common with guys than girls

gahh! i have exactly the same thing ive told my dad, but dont want to show anyone.. to shameful. at first when i drained it, pus came out now blood literallly -pours- out and it is extremly painful to sit on , even to walk. i have no idea what it is.. ive had it for around a week and i want it gone!

i had it about 6 months ago. i first noticed it setting on the couch for a few hours at a time, i kept thinking it would just go away. a week later it felt like i had a baseball in the back of my pants and hurt like hell. i went to the doc and he lanced it and all was better in a few days. now it`s coming back but no swelling up, just draining a little bit., really dread any surgery for it, my wife had kind the same thing and had surgery to removed it bout 5 yrs ago and it still bothers her from time to time.

squeeze it!

you may have a car buckle or a boil ,you need to go see a doctor about it they may can give you some cream or something for it , the doctor may have to put you to sleep and lance it to get the puss out if it does not come out on its own

i would go to the er because even if they will not except your medicaid they can bill you and when your medicaid goes through you can send in that bill

I know this might sound gross but i need help on how to get rid of it fast! what could cause a hard, red bump in the middle of the top of my butt-crack? its painful and very hard and swollen, and i cant sit on it. what can be done about it? please help me!! i need help asap!!!

It sounds like either a boil or abscess, both of which are commonly the result of staphylococcal (staph) infections. Since it sounds like it may require incision & drainage, as well as antibiotics, I would strongly suggest seeing a doctor.

I have this bump for 2 days now. it didn't hurt in till this morning when got up, it was really swollen and red. now it hurts more than ever what is it. it is getting hard me to walk. it hurt to put pressure on it, and the knot is the size golf ball what is this. i need your help pleaseeeeee.

Sounds like it's a boil. Try putting hot moist compresses on it...it needs to "pop" so it can drain. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/boils/article_em.htm

Okay, so there's been something going around, something itchy. my step dad has a huge "pimple" near his arm pit that started out as a little swollen bump, but now it's enormous and is leaking puss, i know, gross. but unlike him i have small bumps on my arms, fingers, and legs, and they turn kind of itchy and annoying, then leak that weird see through liquid. then my mom had two little patches of hives on her stomach and her back. i'm starting to get worried now, can you please suggest what all this might be?? oh, and by the way, today, me and my sister found a spider with a pretty big "butt"? are they maybe spider bites?

Probably Scabies, don't worry they can't hurt you, and tend to only spread through fabrics, so get a few bug grenades, bomb your house, and consult a doctor and bring up scabies. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS ANSWER FOR AMATEUR I HAVE HAD THESE AND KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO!

Two days ago all i ate was shrimp before i went to bed. the next day i woke up w a swollen upper lip it went away like in two hours. as the day went on, i kept started feeling itchy on my chest. i had like mosquitos but they were bigger no puss or anything like that. just swollen bumbs. i went home took some benadryll and fell asleep the next morning they were all gone. but little by little i started getting it all over again. next morning i took benadryll and thy went away i didn't have them all day today but right now i got them all over my neck. i've had them on my legs feet abdomen chest back butt neck behind the ears on my head and swollen lips what is this? how much longer until they go away for good?

Food allergies generally do not last a few days although it is possible. You may have another allergy such as pollen, dust, or mold that you may be breathing in all the time. If this is the case, it may be a while until the symptoms go away. If it does go away within the next few days, you probably have an allergy to shrimp.

My boyfriend has gotten tested and is clean. i have a uti, swollen lymph nodes in the groin area, and this weird rash. it is around the vagina and a little bit onto the crease of my legs/butt. some look like big red bumps some look like ingrown hairs/big mosquito bites and are they not in clusters. there are three or four bumps on my inside lips that are hard, unpoppable and look very round. some body please helpppppppp i dont know what this is!!! it is very itchyy especially after touching it.. any ideas also my booyfriend has had a series of cold sores and did perform oral sex on me (but not when he had a cold sore)

Your boyfriend would have shown up positive for oral herpes if they did a complete STD test. Even if he doesn't have any outbreaks, he's got it for life. It's possible he may have passed it on to you orally. You may just have a yeast infection with your UTI. Sometimes they go hand in hand. Herpes doesn't itch, they are really sore, sometimes you won't even want to wear underwear. http://information-outreach.blogspot.com/search/label/Yeast%20Infections. You definitely want to see your doctor since you have the UTI. Have him give you a blood test to check for herpes to se if you've been exposed to oral herpes.

My daughter was going though a stage where she wouldn't stop taking off her diaper. yes i tried tape. i don't need advice about that, anyhow i took her to the dr when a boil appeared to have formed under her arm. i explained to him about how she was taking off her diaper at night & basically being in her own pee before i found her and changed her and washed the sheets, etc. he said she had folliculitus/staph, prescribed antibiotics and ointment. gave them to her till it was gone, she seemed to be doing better, cleared up on her butt (she had a rash) but then one of the bumps on her thigh all of the sudden reared up- this is where i am confused- it looks like a boil, big, red, swollen, a big lump, hard, but..there's no head. yes i've tried heat compresses and give her 3 baths a day hoping the hot water will bring it to one and that it will drain,but all to no avail. she is on medicaid and i just now moved and am having trouble finding a dr that takes her medicaid, and will have to switch dr's when i do find one. i do not have any money at all, otherwise i'd pay to take her to one, and i wouldve done it a few days ago when i noticed it getting big. please help. i thought the antibiotic would get rid of it, yet a new one grew..with no head..it's so hard and swollen, i feel horrible for my baby. i tried using a sterilized needle to prick it and relieve some of the pressure, i thought a lot of (please excuse me i don't know the correct term) old blood would come out and maybe that was why it was so big, but only a few drops of fresh blood came out and it sealed right back up. i'm going to see if i can post a picture somehow. thank you ahead of time. courtney. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b 65/songcalledhope/myspace%2011-08/1 007.jpg ......or........<a href="http://s17.photobucket.c om/albums/b65/songcalledhope/myspac e%2011-08/?action=view&current= 1007.jpg" target="_blank"><im g src="http://i17.photobucket.co m/albums/b65/songcalledhope/myspace %2011-08/1007.jpg" border="0" alt="photobucket">< /a> i'm not sure which link will work on here or if they will at all....looks like it has puss in it but its just really dark reddish purple, i couldnt get a good pic of it ...or try <a href="http://s17.photobucket.c om/albums/b65/songcalledhope/myspac e%2011-08/?action=view&current= 1010.jpg" target="_blank"><im g src="http://i17.photobucket.co m/albums/b65/songcalledhope/myspace %2011-08/1010.jpg" border="0" alt="photobucket">< /a> or http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b 65/songcalledhope/myspace%2011-08/1 010.jpg sweet- thank you for your response. this is exactly what i've been telling her daddy. i just hate to do that b/c i heard before that you can only take them to the er once a year, i hope that's just bs- but it is easy to believe, it took me years to finally get my severe cts surgery. britta- thank you, but no, i don't believe it's that at all b/c it started out as a red lump when i first took her to the doc, but it grew bigger in size all of the sudden in the last 4 days or so- i'm going to find the nearest er and call 2 make sure they accept her type of medicaid. i'm very worried and i know it's better to be safe than sorry, esp when it comes to my baby girl. i've just never seen one that didn't form a head. i will update to let yall know what happened. thank you so much for your help, it's much appreciated. court ok. as much as i sincerely appreciate peoples advice, i must repeat again. i have no money. zero. zip. nada. i'm not sure if the person that said i need to act on this immediately just did not read all of what i said or what, but i just moved. i have been on the phone for over 2 hours. unfortch, to have a dr accept her medicaid, it has to be in the sme county. since i just moved and reported the move, the county is still my old county. i explained it is an emergency to the jerk, yet he said it would take thirty days to take effect- basically no dr is going to accept her medicaid b/c it's the wrong county, and i can't do shit apparently but wait,..which i obviously don't have time to wait. i am trying to figure this out. but please do not act as if i don't already know the seriousness of this situation. she is my daughter after all, and i'm already a nervous wreck. i'm on disability- check doesn't come in till next month, the $ was used for rent. i have nothing. about to call the er.

As the earlier answer said, you could take her to the emergency room if there is no other way to get her seen. Try calling your Medicaid caseworker or the agency where s/he works. They usually have a list of doctors that take Medicaid for their clients. They should also be able to tell you about any free or sliding-scale clinics in your new area. How far did you move? If it's not too far, and your county (or whoever runs this) has Medicaid transportation services, you might be able to take her to her former pediatrician. Just saw your new information--what type of Medicaid does she have? If you email me through my profile, I'll try to help you find out what's covered in your state.
