Hello,
I have this lump, no bigger than a pea (probably smaller because i do blow things out of proportion when i worry!).
It's at the top of one of my buttocks, nearly where my bum meets my back.
I've had it for months, maybe even over a year and i've never really been that worried about it because it is so small i can only usually feel it when i try to but just lately i've started to freak out about it! I think it's because I've always just thought it was one of those things (like a fatty lump or cysts) and that it is harmless but then i read that cysts move around when you touch them and my lump is quite hard.
It is almost like a lump of hard skin but with a layer of soft skin on the top?!
It doesn't hurt and you can't really see it from the outside.
I'm so worried that it could be cancer. The only thing making me feel better is that i've never heard of anyone having cancer in that area or under the skin.
Has anyone else had a similar thing before?
I'm going to see a doctor but I'm freaking out incase it is cancer and i've left it for so long it's too late :(
Thank you for reading.
Becca
