Suggest Treatment For Abscess Between Buttocks

I had an abscess about a month ago on the inside of my butt cheek. That one ended up being rather large. Well yesterday I noticed a bump near my vagina. I ve gotten these before in this area and they go away after a few days but, because I had an abscess already could this be another one?

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is really abscess then because of this surrounding lymph nodes get swelling and this could be cause that you are having another swelling near your genital, actually clinical examination would rule out this, some time infection may spreads to that lymph node and may cause abscess there if care not being taken, hope this information helps, take care.
