Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Buttocks
I have a lump on the buttocks that grew pretty quickly in a few days, and now its real painful, hard to sit or stand without any pain. I thought it was a boil but it doesn t seem to be pussing up or popping anytime soon. I did a have a few times where I was freezing or really warm but that seems to have stopped. Do I need to see a dermatologist for this of someone else?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
According to history I think it can be superficial bacterial skin infection...
It might be abscess or boil like condition
If you post photo then more comment can be given
If on examination it seems abscess and large enough then incision and drainage done with local dressing
Oral antibiotic course also will be prescribed
Take care
Consult general surgeon for examination and discuss your case...
Hope this will help you
