What Is The Hard, Swollen, Pus-filled Bump On Butt?

My 3 year old twins both have a bump on their butts..it is a very hard swollen bump and when u squeeze it yellowish pus comes out..I m not sure it they were bit by something. The male twin I noticed it yesterday and he said he hit the couch but when I noticed his twin sister had one tonight I am really concerned.its not in the exact same spot but both on their butts.
