What Does Hard, Red And Painful Lump On My Buttocks Indicate?
Hi I have a hard, red painful lump on my buttock. I have never had anything like this before and I don't know what it could be. I squeezed it a few days ago and a little bloody pus came out and then then a couple days later and clearish pink liquid came out. Now it is very painful and hot, red and hard.

Hi,
It seems that you may have soft tissue skin infection. It may progress to abscess. You consult surgeon. Heavy antibiotics like cefixime may be taken for 2 weeks. Anti inflammatory drugs may be taken. If abscess is developed. Incision and drainage may be done. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
