Welcome to health care magic.

1.The most possible cause of a cyst / lump / lesion on the gluteal region / butt could be hair follicular infection.
2.In case of follicle infection / inflammation there will be a cystic structure with collection within, which gives pain on touch and leak when you press the lesion.
3.In this case you need to maintain local hygiene, with regular cleaning with antiseptic liquid to avoid the infections.
4.If you have multiple and symptomatic, you may need to seek medical help as they do need a antibiotic course to heal completely.
5.IF symptomatic get it treated with a course of antibiotics, if required a small incision and drainage.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
