I have a bump or maybe a boil on my lower belly sometimes it's dormant but right now it's swollen and very painful. what can be the cause of this?

Cyst: Sound like a cyst that is getting recurrently infected. Cysts have a skin like a grape and need to be surgically excised, in its entirety, for a permanent solution. Otherwise some antibiotics and might help to put it back in it's "dormant" state.
