Patient's question:
A bump in the perineum, red and painful, how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, I consider you have an epidermoid cyst of the perineal skin. Epidermoid cysts are commonly known as "sebaceous cysts," which are formed when the ducts of the sebaceous glands become blocked, leading to the accumulation of sebum within the glands. The main characteristic of epidermoid cysts is their tendency to be accompanied by recurrent infections. Therefore, I believe the redness and swelling you experienced two days ago were due to cyst infection, and now the infection has largely subsided, but the cyst has not completely disappeared. It is recommended to continue with anti-inflammatory treatment.
