What Are The Pimples On My Tail Bone?

My tailbone has been bothering me and I noticed 3 dimples on it. It hurts when I sit and the pain seems to be getting worse. I've checked again and the 3 dimples have gotten bigger but there's no pus. I've been playing tennis everyday but I clean myself very well when I shower. What could this be? Thank you for your help

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Painful lumpy feeling in the tail bone region, multiple increasing in size causing pain - possible causes are infection to the hair follicle ( carbuncle / furuncle)
2.I would recommend to see your GP, get examined - a course of antibiotic with local applicable anti inflammatory cream could help.
3.You can not ignore as it may complicate and form a sinus with anus internally.
4.Maintain cleanliness use antiseptic liquid to clean the area.
5.Do not scratch the area as it may complicate.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
