I think there is, and in February there was one too. if that is the case, how are such things treated and is it serious?
Brief Answer:
Either with oral antibiotics or drainage.
Detailed Answer:
If there is lump , then first and more likely possibility would be a gluteal abscess.
In that case if it is small in size and not discharging any secretions , then a course of oral antibiotics can help you.
If its large , then doctor might want to drain it out.This particularly helps complete resolution and prevents recurrence.
This is not something extremely serious, but you will need doctor's help to treat this.Regards.
