Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This sounds like an abscess due to fistula between the rectum and soft tissues. In such case the lump should be quite hard and painful when touching it. Some clear fluid filled cysts are sometimes present in this area as well.
I suggest you to have a simple soft tissues ultrasound in this area at first. In case of fluid collection, an incision is necessary and fluid evacuation.

If it is an abscess, pelvis MRI is necessary to rule out fistula.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
