What Causes Extremely Painful Lump In Between Buttocks?

I have an extremely painful lump in my butt crack, surfacing over my buttcheek as well. The lump is about the size of a quarter and really red, and there s an additional inch in diameter around that as red swelling. I ve had it for about a week and it just keeps getting bigger and it s excruciating. No matter what position I m in it s painful. What could it be? It s not leaking any fluid as far as i know. Thanks.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having forming abscess over the part.
It it is near to anal opening there might be having possibility of having anal abscess.
Go for one antibiotic medicine like Amoxicilin or Levofloxacilin medicine course for 5 days along with anti-inflammatory medicine as well.
Keep local hygiene proper.
Ok and take care.
