How Can A Painful Abscess On The Buttocks Be Treated?

I have a 3 inch wide by 4 1/2 inch long mass on the lower inner portion of my left butt cheek. It came on between Sunday night and Monday morning. It is painful to sit, walk bend over, or have a bowel movement. It is increasing in size each day. There is redness around the entirety of the mass. There are no signs of external leaking. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Roger
