Suggest Treatment For Sore Lump On Buttocks

Hi. Im 19 year old girl, 63kg. I have just noticed a really sore hard lump on my buttocks. I was wondering what are the chances of it being caused by bacteria, or could it have Addison from siting on cold concrete? I have had one like this 3 or more years ago, and hope there is nothing laying dormant in my system.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sore (painful) lump on buttocks is mostly due to infection.
Buttocks are common site for infected lump.
The reasons are perspiration, poor hygiene, friction etc.
So in your case, better to get done clinical examination by doctor to rule out infection.
You may need antibiotics, anti inflammatory drugs.
Avoid moisture and keep proper hygiene of anal region.
Wear only cotton undergarments.
If not improving with drugs then surgical removal is indicated.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
