Question

I've got this heat bump on my left buttock that's been around for about six days now. It's getting bigger and it's really painful. Also, I've been having a fever. Could you suggest any creams or medication for it? And are there certain foods I should avoid? Should I stick with regular soap for cleaning it, or is there a special soap I should be using instead?
