3 cyst inside butt cheeks

[marionr26]

I have had these 3 cyst a few yrs now they right below the top of butt crack yet have to spread cheecks to see them right inside the cheek area it like 3 or so. They really never bothered me before until this week they getting alittle sore. I have had cyst on the back of neck and on my back drained a few times they got big as golf balls. I have a soreness in lower back area next tail bone I have recently had some sciatic nerve problems had to go to chiropractor about a week for it to ease the pain. Im a mail carrier delivery mail in a truck in SC summer it gets 115 in the truck sitting on that seat 5 hrs my shorts are soaked. I just started reading into this since its started causing some pain...Is this pilonidal absecesses can there be more than one...I dont see where any are draining yet just hard a sore. I notice when I spread them top is real red looks little white in the read area but its nothing wet looks like skin peeling it itches a little......Thanks for taking my question

My son has a cyst or something between his butt cheeks and it is getting painful.  What type of doctor would he see.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be boil, infected sebaceous cyst or pilonidal cysts. Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription. Also then get the other possibilities ruled out.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
