Hey, so I've noticed a weird lump on my buttocks that popped up last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch and eventually thought it healed. But now it's come back, and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any idea what this could be or what I should do about it?

I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.

I'm especially concerned about finding something without side effects. Is it okay for guys to use women's hair removal creams? Also, I want the hair to grow back in about a month, so I'm not interested in anything permanent. What's readily available at most drugstores that you would recommend?
