Painful Bump On The Buttocks. On Pain Medication. What Is It?
Yes,

The lump was small and very deep but more it has surfaced and grown it looks like a bruise and I'm I'm so much pain and very scared please help me figure out what to do. I don't have insurance thats why I have not taken care of this already

hi..thanks for the query.
It is unlikely that there is a persistent swelling due to an injection done wrongly.
It is likely that you have a haematoma ,but unless there is a repeated injury, this should not occur from an injection.Swelling may due to an infected cyst.Pain,swelling, color change may be a manifestation of cellulitis in the area.
I would advise you to visit your dermatologist or primary care physician at least to start oral antibiotics.
Hop this is helpful.
Take care.
