This sounds like a boil, and the ones on the buttock can be quite painful and difficult to get rid of, sometimes leading to an infection. Try a warm compress in the area and letting the area dry out, without friction from clothes. Soak a clean washrag in Epsom salts and warm water, apply to the area for about twenty minutes a few times a day. And call your doctor as it may be infected at this point or may need to be lanced.
