Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Studied your query in full depth of its details.Reviewed it in context of your health concerns.
Your Girlfriend seem to suffer from-?Pilonidal Cystitis or could be a Acute Boil in the bum crack above her tail bone.
Treatment-
Get Second Opinion from Surgeon.
Take USG/ CT Study to assess the lump.
Complete blood test- to rule out the diabetes causing it.
Antibiotic-Tab-Ciplox-500 mg x 3-5 days.
Tab-Metronidazole x 400 mgmx 5 days
Tab Motrin-400 mg x 5 days time.
If no relief-Surgical Treatment-with incision drainage of the abscess,
