How Can A Buttock Lump, Painful On Palpation Be Treated?

Hi. I have noticed a week ago a small painful lump ot something like that on my right buttock. I think that i cant see it in the mirror but i feel it when i touch and it hurts when i press it. It is inside of the tissue. It doesnt begin on the surface. I m not sure if can move i m scared to touch it too much. I m not sure is it in the muscle maybe it is in fat. At first i wasnt worried, i taught it is maybe a pimple but i just can see it yet. But i am starting to worry. And i dont remember i hit myself. What coulld it be ? Should i be worried ? Thank you.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

For sure its nothing serious. You should not be worried. The pain indicates the this lump is most likely filled with pus. The pus could appear due to some infection of hair follicle or sebaceous cyst.
I suggest you to consult general surgeon. Soft tissues ultrasound should be done to get more information about this lump. Small incision and drainage should treat this lump.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
