What Does A Painful, Red Lump On Buttock Oozing Yellow Pus Suggest?

About a week ago Ive noticed this weird lump on my butt cheek but i didn t pay it any mind for it didn t bother me.A couple of days later Ive noticed a blue ring appeared around this lump which was quite concerning but i thought it for a bruise.One night in the shower i was fiddling with it and it this greenly yellow puss came out which stank horrendously.This thing now is completely red and it feels like there are puss canals under my skin.Its about 10cm in diameter and completely red and terribly painful.My question is what is this thing under my skin or have i been bitten by something?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having abscess formation on the part giving rise painful, indurated, pus discharging swelling.
Consult your doctor and go for proper dressing after proper evacuation of abscess.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine as well.
Ok and take care.
