Hello,

Painful lump on buttock can be any of the following:
1) Furuncle or boil
2) Gluteal abscess
3) Carbuncle
4) Sebaceous cyst

You need to be examined in person. If it is an abscess, immediately it needs drainage. You should not neglect the swelling as it may lead to sepsis. Meanwhile, to decrease the pain you can take NSAIDs like ibuprofen and Naproxen etc. Antibiotics may be necessary for effective treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
