Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling on the buttocks. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like infection , hematoma , scar tissue , buttock injury , pilonidal sinus or sebaceous gland inflammation . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses , keep this area clean and dry , do not apply anti cosmetic product and apply over the counter antibiotics cream . If condition doesn't get better then consult then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like blood test to detect septicemia , physical examination to check tenderness and consistency and take sample for lab test in severe case . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clarithromycin at least for 5 days along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment . Doctor may also recommend surgical excision in severe cases .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
