“Pain at top of buttcrack”
I've been having pain at the top of my buttcrack- it hurts to lie down and sit. The area is red and feels like a small hard bump. I had this problem before, several weeks ago- and it lasted less than a week before disappearing. And now it's back.

Pain in that area could represent a pilonidal cyst, a recurring area of accumulation of pus which needs to be evaluated by an ultrasound, and possibly opened and drained. The fact that it went away once before is good, and in that case, may represent more of a response to some type of trauma, and not a cyst. But in either case, an evaluation by your primary care physician or at an urgent care center is the best option for you. Good luck!
