Hello there...I can understand your concern. The furuncle or abcess filled with pus on your buttock, is because of a bacterial infection. But your are applying fourderm cream. Which is completely wrong. It contains steroids, which will exacerbate the infection. You will need oral and topical antibiotics, anti inflammatory medications. So kindly consult a dermatologist or general surgeon for further evaluation.
