Brief Answer: Hi and welcome to XXXXXXX Detailed Answer: If this is painful on touch then this is probably inflammation process which is very common in this area. There are several possible causes: it can be simple folliculitis due to hair follicle infection or it can be more severe abscess such as perianal abscess or pylonidal cyst. Folliculitis may pass spontaneously or with antibiotics,but other 2 should be treated surgically since it may progress and usually it comes back even after it heals. Surgical drainage is most efficient treatment and pain is immidiately gone after procedure. So I suggest to visit doctor who will examine these bumps and then it can be managed under local or short general anasthesia or antibiotics can be prescribed. Meanwhile,you should keep this area clean and dry and avoid scratching. Other possible causes are benign subcutaneous lesions such as lipoma,fibroma or cysts but it would not be painful. Wish you good health. Feel free to ask. Regards

Brief Answer: Hi Detailed Answer: you can apply pressure on it by sterile gauze and hold it for 5 minutes or put some ice on it for 10-15 minutes. But if it bleeds then you should visit doctor definitely. it doesnt indicate anything serious,but it probably wont pass spontaneously and some intervention is necessary.
