Mostly BOIL.

Detailed Answer:
HI Dear,
It is probably small boil in the inner side of the buttocks. Often happens.
Can be treated with:
Magsulf dressing (MAG MAG) two times daily.
Analgesic drops like Calpol drops (10 to 20 drops 4-6 hourly after feeds).
Antibiotic like Augmentin syrup 2.5 ml two times a day along with Probiotic like Syrup Neutrolin B 2.5 ml twice a day will reduce the inflammation. You can get this medication with doctor prescription.
Hope the baby should respond to this treatment.
If you have any queries feel free to ask.
Thank you.
