I have a lump inside my butt cheek for several weeks, and it won?t go away. I was applying some medical creams, but they didn?t work. The lump is hard, painful and red. First I thought it was just a big pimple, but a pimple would disappear long time ago. My hygiene habits are excellent, so comments on this subject would be unnecessary. It crossed my mind that many hours of sitting in. Maybe the sitting has worsened my circulation and caused a lump.

You are most probably having bacterial infection. You will need to take antibiotics to decrease the inflammation along with application of antibiotic cream. When you are applying antibiotic cream you need to take care of carrier sites like nose and nails as well which harbor bacteria causing this infection.
