What Are The Abscesses On My Daughter S Tail Bone?

HI, my daughter had 3 cysts or abscesses on her tailbone which were lanced this past Monday. In her follow up yesterday, she was told that these types of abscesses can tunnel and if she experiences any pain down her legs or in her lower back to see a surgeon immediately. What types of abscesses are these, what causes them and what are her chances of reoccurrence? Never mind, didn t know I had to pay.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
There are some abscesses in this area which are quite deep up to bone (tail bone). If the abscess persists or recurs it is better to consult a surgeon who will incise it and will dress it regularly till it heals
