I’ve got a small lump just below my tailbone, it’s in between the crack, positioned slightly to the left. I’ve only just found it now and for a few days I’ve had a split like wound between my butt. The flesh around the cut appears to be scarred and some seems to be as if it was a burn caused by too much friction. It’s been bleeding recently and it’s really itchy. It’s extremely painful and I’ve also noticed a clearish liquid coming out of the wound that now seems to be sort of yellowy. Any ideas what this is? I’m a 14 year old female, if that helps.
The narrated lump on tailbone indicates pilonidal sinus with possible infection. Primary relief with sitz bath, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs till you consults a surgeon.
