What Is The Swollen Lump On The Butt Cheek That Bleeds When Pressed?
i have an inflamed/swollen lump on the right cheek on the butt. it's already been 10 days. First, it was a simple like then it puss, then the cover of the puss had been removed then the swelling gets bigger every day. Now, there's a blood dripping when i press on it. I remember a night before i discovered a simple lump, I woke up & felt cold, it’s chills. I haven’t told anyone about it yet, even a doctor. On my first 3 days, i only take 1 amoxicillin/day. On the 4th day i started taking amoxicillin and mefenamic , both for 3/day & 500mg. Please, I need your medical knowledge on this. Can i see my obgyne for this? Or a pediatrician? Or a Dermatologist?

Hi,
This is likely to be an abscess. I suggest you need a full course if antibiotics. A visit to the ED would be sufficient to get the appropriate treatment.
