How To Treat Sore Lump On Right Buttock?

I have a lump on my right buttock. It is sore when I sit or in certain positions. Sometimes it is very painful and sore, other times not so much. It is under the skin. It is near the anus. I went to the ER, referred me to a general surgeon, met with the PA at the office. Told me that it looked like inflamed tissue. Seems to get worse, then a little better, then worse again.

Should I be worried about the diagnosis? Could this possibly be something else?
