How Can Painful Abscess On The Buttocks Be Treated?

Hi Doc, I got a very big infectious abscess on my buttock a week ago which was very painfull and surgeon drained it n cleaned it. I used Augmentin 1gram twice a day for good 7 days all gets good again. But right after 3 days now I have again got an infectious abscess very much closed to the old one. Though its small now but started causing pain. I have just applied baladona plaster on it. Please advice what should I do more as I dont want it get bigger and cause same pain which the previous one caused. Thanks
