I have a boil or pimple on my butt which i get frequently but they go away no problem, but this one has white pus next to it and the skin is squishy?

Local abscess: These are common & will sometimes self drain if you apply moist heat. It it has become large enough to interfere with your activities you may need to see the doc & have it drained. Scrumming your butt with soap while you shower or bathe can reduce the germ population & may stop the repeat events.
