Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have soft lump on inner butt cheek . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like pilonidal cyst , external hemorrhoid , boil , perianal abscess or ischio-rectal abscess . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also remove it surgically in case of severe infection . For now apply warm compresses on it , keep the area clean and dry and clean it with betadine .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
