Hi.
Thanks for your query.
From the history you have provided this hard lump looks to be a boil only. Being unresolved it will appear to be hard.
There are no known cases to have bony lumps in this area.
Please carry on the investigations as already planned. You will also get an opinion of the Doctor doing colonoscopy .
This lump may get resolved with Sitz bath, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. If it does not further investigations may be required
