What Does Hard, Red And Painful Lump On My Buttocks Indicate?
Hi I have a hard, red painful lump on my buttock. I have never had anything like this before and I don't know what it could be. I squeezed it a few days ago and a little bloody pus came out and then then a couple days later and clearish pink liquid came out. Now it is very painful and hot, red and hard.

Hi...looks like you have got a boil...take a course of antibiotic and get it completely drained by a surgeon...

Hi,
It seems that you may have soft tissue skin infection. It may progress to abscess. You consult surgeon. Heavy antibiotics like cefixime may be taken for 2 weeks. Anti inflammatory drugs may be taken. If abscess is developed. Incision and drainage may be done. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
