As a 21-year old with Crohn's disease -which also caused fistulas, a lump showed up in my perineum area. How could I treat it/should I check with a doctor?

I would suggest you first started with a surgeon's opinion for this local finding.
If this is related to your Crohn's, then you should also receive advice from your gastroenterologist concerning your current therapy (azathioprine? and/or anti-TNF/biologics??) and future dose titration or combination therapy (in conjuction with probable surgical treatment).
ALWAYS check with your doctor! You have Crohn's which can be a fistulizing and/or stenotizing disease so you should promptly take your doctor's advice whenever something strange appears...
