Likely an abscess. But if you are not comfortable visiting a surgeon which will be your best option to get treated you can get an MRI done for perianal region which will give additional info as to any fistula or deep seated infection although will add to the cost as in case of any such findings you will again need to visit a surgeon for treatment

Based on your description, the swelling you are experiencing is most likely a perianal abscess/fistula.. You need to be evaluated by a healthcare professional, such as a general surgeon or a proctologist. Since this has been happening for 10 days without relief, an in-person physical exam is necessary to get an accurate diagnosis and prevent complications like a severe infection.
In the meantime:-
1. Avoid Straining.
2. Eat High-Fibre Foods
3. Continue Sitz Baths safely
4. Do Not Squeeze the Lump
Next Steps
consult a general surgeon or a proctologist
