Hi
i appreciate your concern i can understand your problem

in my opinion it might be a gluteal abscess
if you are not getting any relief with antibiotics I would advise you to go for incision and drainage under cover of antibiotics

take acetaminophen for pain relief
tab pantoprattle to avoid hyperacidity
Liquid paraffin for constipation
maintain a good hygiene by cleaning it very frequently
sitz bath

Hope I have answered your question
thanks for using health care magic
take care
