How to get rid of bump on buttcheek

Vicks VapoRub

Applied directly to an HS spot, VapoRub works for temporary pain relief. Two of its active ingredients – menthol and camphor – are mild analgesics (pain relievers) and are used in anti-itch lotions. VapoRub also helps abscesses to rupture and drain, which provides more pain relief.

Over-the-counter antibiotic ointment

Since many people keep a tube of Neosporin in their medicine cabinet, you might not even have to look far to get it. It may also help keep the infection from spreading. Apply the antibiotic ointment to the boil at least twice a day until the boil is gone.
