Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having ingrown hair follicle infection and an abscess is formed.
There might be having fistula in ano if this lump is since long.
consult your doctor and get examined.
If simple abscess is there, with drainage and daily dressing will give you cure.
Ok and take care.
