General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history and symptoms, it seems that you have got a cellulitis/forming abscess on your buttock. However, it needs to be examined physically and some investigations if need be to arrive at a diagnosis and a proper management. Therefore, I would suggest you to take appointment with a general surgeon in your area, and get it assessed by him. Till then, you can go for some anti inflammatory drug to get some symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
