Suggest Treatment For Hard Painful Lump On Buttock

Hi there 5 days ago as I sat into my car, it felt as if I d sat on a tennis ball right in the middle of my bum cheek. As the day went on it became unbearable. I can t tell if it has swollen and my friend doesn t seem to think so, there is very slight bruising and a tennis ball size hard extremely painful lump right in the centre of the cheek. Over the past few days I ve been barely walking, sleeping and definitely cannot sit on it, needless to say driving reduces me to tears. Please help X
