Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump On Butt Cheek

I have a hard/big like a marble lump on buttcheeck. When i popped it, white pimple like stuff came out then blood,puss.it also shot across the room didnt just ooze out. Had a shower today tried to pop it because its very sore an grew in size but nothing will come out. I get these every now and then. When they go away they leave scars. What is this? Is it from sweating? Do i go get it drained? What can i take to not keep getting these. The ones on the past are usually filled with blood an puss.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

These look to be recurrent meaning coming again and again pus filled lumps on butt cheek.
They appear to be recurrent boils due to recurrent skin infection.

I would advise you the following:
Get the pus - microscopy, culture and sensitivity done if you have got these now or whenever you get them next time.
Apply liquid povidone iodine before and after bath and at bedtime.
Change to new underwears, preferably cotton and to change them daily and cleaned on daily basis.
Take a course of antibiotic like doxycyclin for 3 weeks to 3 months under the supervision of your Doctor, preferably a Dermatologist.

With these measure you may be alright for ever.
