Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a buttock lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is an infected sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected again there! Please apply ice pack/cold compress and antibiotic/povidone iodine lotion in the area for some relief and revert back to us...
I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns if still worried!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
