How To Treat Swelling In Buttocks Area?

i have a swelling on my butt cheek. my righ one for example. i though that its just one of those pimples that i usually get. i had swellings before but theyre just the size of a quarter or lower. but now its feels like its the size of a potato. does this go away? the pain is tolerable but it just bothers me when i pee/sit/ or anything that requires my butt muscles to move. i am also a gamer so i sit in the chair alot. so im wondering if that is a contributing factor.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain over your buttocks seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug likemotrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Warm Regards.
