Welt On Tailbone, Painful. Used Lotion. Is This Something Serious?
I have been tanning for a few weeks now in a tanning bed. Today after tanning I have a large welt on my tailbone, its very painful! I am not burnt anywhere. I have put lotion on it. I'm in a lot of pain. Is this serious and what can I do for some relief??

Take sitz bath by sitting in lukewarm water in a tub 15 minutes daily.
Use a soft foamy cushion to sit on to avoid direct pressure on tail bone
