[|Human|] i have ahad a growth that started out about pea size on my back right above right butt cheek (hip area) it has gotten larger over the last five years and i think that it burst internally today.  it is ver tender to the touch and does not feel very big at all now.  Should I be concerned.  I do not have health insurance and I cannot afford a trip to ER
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history suggest the possible cause could be gluteal abscess and collapsed status.2. In this case if you are my patient I would have examined you and ask for an ultrasound scan.3. Ultrasound will assess the lump, status of the lump (collapse / collection within) and its source and exceptions.4. The treatment of choice it this cad will be a course of antibiotics with wound care, but in complicated state a small incision and Chat Doctor. 5. Suggest do not disturb the lump, as you may complicate, see your GP get examined and needful treatment. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/
