Suggest Home Remedies For Painful Lump Beside The Tail Bone

I went to sleep on my tailbone. The next morning not even an inch to the left a bum has formed. Bigger than and olive smaller than an egg. It s been a few days and it feels like the size hasn t changed but how much it hurts is a different story. Now it hurts to be on my back or even sit up right and if I could be given home remidies that would be the best.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the painful lump beside tail bone indicate bacterial infection most likely. It is the peri anal swelling in form of pilonidal sinus, sebaceous cyst or others which can pause this way.

Take local care with:
- Sitz bath
- Application of xylocaine jelly
- Avoid pressure bearing
- Taking care to get soft bowel evacuations
- Analgesic as ibuprofen tablets
They will help till you visit your doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
