A member asked:
I have 2 painful tender lumps on my butt 1 inch and half inch has turned red and the other one purple is it infected or not ?

Hemorrhoids? Boils?: If "butt" means your anus, hemorrhoids sound like the best bet. If it means buttocks, probably just a couple of large pimples or boils. Either way, don't poke or squeeze them, and see a doctor if they don't clear up on their own within a few days.
