Suggest Remedy For Lump On Buttocks

To whom it may concern, I have recently discovered that I have a small lump or bump on the inside of my left buttock, it is not directly on my anus again it is on the cheek. I can walk, sit or move in general with out feeling any pain. However once I touch r press on this bump i feel pain not extreme just slight. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per details, it seems that you are suffering from a condition called Folliculitis. It is characterised by red colored painful or tender swelling. It is an infection of hair follicle.
In such cases, I prefer to advise topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin 2 percent over the affected area.
If severe, oral antibiotics are also given like cloxacillin.
Visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription.
You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps.
Take care.
