What Causes Inflammation On The Lateral Side Of The Right Buttock?

I have large inflammation about the size of my hand on the lateral side of my right buttock. It s extremely sensitive to touch. The pain level is at 8. It is very firm to touch. No head or point. Noticed it about 5 days ago. Hadn t gotten any better. Warm compress does nothing. Nsaids do nothing. What could it be? I ve had abscesses before but nothing like this.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the swelling is huge then it need to be taken for clinical examination and investigations, it may be formation of abscess due to infection great care need to be taken for that hope this information helps.
