How To Get Rid Of Lump In The Buttocks?

A couple of years ago i was taking steroids and i was injecting into the upper region of the buttocks on both sides. After the course was over everthing was fine but 6 months after being off the steroids i lost a fair bit of weight due to the lazyness but i noticed a small lump in my right buttock. Overtime its gotten to a size which was noticeable outside the pants. It seems to have gone away but keeps comin back changing in size. No pain at all until it starts getting bigger. I get a throbbing pain round the lump if im sitting for a while. Had this for about 3 years nearly, ive been on ibilex 500 which shrunk it but never completely got rid of it. Im pretty sure it is just in the tissue not the muscle. Please if u could look into my query it would be much appreciated.

Hi,DEAR,Good Evening,Thanks for the query.I studied it in details and understood your health concerns regarding it.
Lump caused on your right buttock-is a Chronic Injection Abscess.

Treatment would depend on the cause-
a-Your ER Surgeon would -i- Aspirate or could be drained and cavity wall scraped and repaired under antibiotic cover -i.e. by primary suturing of Chronic Abscess.
or ii-could be treated by OPEN drainage after Incision and Drainage-to heal it by secondary intention with scar.
Hope this would help you to plan the treatment with your doctor.
Wellcome for any further query in this regard.
Wishing you good health.
Good Night.
