Suggest Treatment For Big Painful Bump On Right Buttock

Hi Doctor i work onboar a cruise ship and i have something on by bum just before the thigh strts on the right side . it feels like a pimple. i went to doctor two weeks ago and they gave me antibiotic thinking its ingrown hair . I took antibiotic for 7 days but it has not gone away so i went again today and they think its fistula. i am looking online about it but i dont think its a fistula as it does not have any pus or bleeds or its not even painful. i have a job in which i sit for 8 -9 hours a day and all i feel is something poking me please advise??

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, chances of lymph node is very likely if this is not hurting then no need to treat this but better to keep eye open for any unwanted changes, this may not be fistula and no need to worry about this, hope this helps, and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
