What Causes Lump On The Buttocks?

Hi I have a small, colorless, lump at the top of my butt crack. Its sensitive right now when I sit on the toilet, or touch it. I had something similar last summer and they had a little dot on them where they ended up secreting fluid. What do you think this might be?

THE SMALL LUMP SECRETING FLUID AT THE TOP OF SO CALLED BUTT CRACK- MORE APTLY CALLED NATAL CLEFT IS SUGGESTIVE OF PILONIDAL SINUS- A BURROWING TRACK UNDER THE SKIN HAVING BROKEN HAIR LEADING TO INFECTION AND FLUID DISCHARGE. PLEASE CONSULT A SURGEON WHO COULD ADVISE FISTULOGRAM(MR/CONTRAST) AND SURGICAL EXCISION IF IT'S PILONIDAL SINU.
