Hi,
Painful and swollen lump on the gluteal region which oozes out blood and pus has occurred due to abscess formation. Bacterial infection is most likely the cause. In case of large abscess, incision and drainage should be done along with oral antibiotics for a few days to prevent infections. Kindly check your blood sugar levels since high blood sugar can delay healing of the wounds.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
