Swollen Buttock, Pain. Remedy?
Yesterday, after being in a sitting position all day, I started to feel the base of my back / top of my butt swell up. It hurted a bit, and any kind of pressure to it would make it hurt more. After thinking it could shrink after I slept, I went to bed and woke up this morning with it even more swollen. The lump I have is hard and painful to any kind of pressure in that area. What could it be?

Current rating Hello ,thanks for writing to us
I have studied your case.
It seems that there is gluteal abcess[swelling ] which is collection of infected material
you need to consult general surgeon
take antibiotic and medicine accordingly
this problem can be due to constant sitting on hard surface, so avoid it
Take care,
