Brief Answer:
As discussed in details below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and pictures, albeit not very clear.
The most probable diagnosis is an insect bite as there is central mark and redness nearby. There is no halo.
Since this is on butt cheek where the fat is more than the other parts of the body, the infection and inflammation can take more time to settle.
Hence i would advise you the following:
To get a proper clinical evaluation and examination and proper prescription based treatment from your Doctor so that the further delay and complications are avoided.
Such lesions can cause cellulitis, abscess formation if not treated well.
Please do not apply anything locally.
I hope this answers your query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
