What Causes A Hard Abscess In The Buttock After Undergoing C-section?

I have recently undergone C section and was in hospital for a week. As soon as i am back to home, i observed a hard abscess in my right buttock. It became hard and quite painful. I am taking antibiotics for last weeks, but no improvement. Could you please let me know how serious it is? will it need to be surgically removed?

Hi
I understood your concern
I think It can be a Abscess because of injection given to that area during hospital stay. If you are not getting relieved with Antibiotics for at least 7 days than please do scanning of that area to see Any abscess.If scanning shows abscess than you require surgery named Incision and drainage of that part to remove it.
Thanks
