What Specialist Should Be Consulted For Hole In Lower Back?
Question: What specialist should I consult about the hole in my lower back? It's causing severe daily pain into my tailbone and up my spine.
Brief Answer:
a general surgeon
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that this may be related to a sebaceous cyst which is a lesion that can occur in the skin though there are other lesions that can occur in the skin as well.
A general surgeon may be the best option. It may not require any significant invasive surgical intervention but they may be the best person to diagnose and treat this problem.
Your doctor should be able to refer you.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
