Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on your statement i think you have developed infection of hair follicle (Boil) in perineal region and buttock .Both are likely to be in a stage of induration .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for a week .
If does not subside consult qualified General surgeon for clinical assessment .If needed he may suggest you to get them incised and drained under anesthesia.
