Suggest Treatment For Infected Hair Follicle On Buttocks?
I have what I think may either be an infected hair follicle or a boil on the outside middle part of my left buttcheek that has become painfully red, hot to the touch, hard bump with about a marker tip sized pus filled head. What is it & how do I relieve the pain & feverish feeling?

You require oral antibiotics and painkillers. But I suggest you to show to a skin specialist as is waited around, the infection might spread. Till you visit to a skin specialist, start using t bact ointment thrice a day over the infected part and take combiflam tablet 2-3 times a day after food for pain.
