just show to your Medical Oncologist. He will call probably refer to a General Surgeon for an opinion. If such a lump on buttock feels like ‘pus’, one may aspirate that pus and send for examination and start antibiotics. If it feels hard with some redness around, one may start antibiotics for it to soften as also some pain killers and some medicines to reduce the swelling. Sometimes, it’s not clear what sort of lump is it, and in that case, one may do an ultrasound which will tell us more details and then medicines can be started.

Meet your doctor and see what he or she has to say.
