What Causes A Lump Inside The Butt Cheek Like A Bruise With A Knot In It?

I have a lump inside my right butt cheek about 1 inch from the hole. It is nothing like a pimple or boil. It looks and feels like a bruise with a knot in it the size of a small tootsie roll, ob-longed. I noticed it 4 days ago and it has since grown and gotten a lot more painful. It actually golf ball size now, but ob-longed and not round. There is no head on it whatsoever. Any ideas?

General Surgeon 's  Response
HI. This is to be taken as fistula -in-ano unless proved otherwise for the sake of a complete treatment now -may give you a pure cure.
Please consult a Surgeon ASAP as it may be ripe enough to be properly incised and evacuated . Please request the Surgeon to see whether there is an internal communication with the anal canal or rectum.
