Take Allergy Shots Every Year On Butt Cheeks, Have White Dots On The Area, Increasing In Size, Sore And Warm To Touch. Cause?

I get a steriod shot each year for allergies. Always in the right butock cheek. I first noticed a small white dot 3 to 4 months ago and it is now getting bigger and is indenting into the fat or muscle, feels short of hollow. When I touch it it is sore and warmer than the rest of the area. I am very concerned what is going on.
