How Can A Painful Swollen Lump On The Buttock Cheek Be Treated?

Following a THD procedure on 15 August 2014 I prolapsed 6 days after. The recovery has been painful since the first day but started to ease. Since Wednesday 5 August I noticed pain returning to the left hand side of my bum. It has got progressively worse and I now have an extremely painful swollen lump in my left butt cheek. The area is hot to touch appears to be red. There also appears to b swelling. There are no lumps on the outside of the cheek visually but to to touch, walk or do anything it is extremely painful. Any ideas
