Welcome to health care magic.

1.The history suggest the possible cause could be gluteal abscess and collapsed status.
2.In this case if you are my patient i would have examined you and ask for an ultrasound scan.
3.Ultrasound will assess the lump, status of the lump ( collapse / collection within) and its source and exceptions.
4.The treatment of choice it this cad will be a course of antibiotics with wound care, but in complicated state a small incision and drainage followed by post incisional care.
5.Suggest do no disturb the lump, as you may complicate, see your GP get examined and needful treatment. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask do not hesitate to ask.
