Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you have a circular cut near your tail bone . It is probably sinus or fistula. Betadine can be applied to it to prevent it from getting infected. Analgesic can be taken to reduce pain from it. Its treatment is probably surgical so you are advised to contact general surgeon for it. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
