What Are The Types Of Cysts That Can Come On Tailbone?

what possible type of cyst would form at base of tailbone, looks like a boil but isn t. It has been lanced and left to drain but still has hard spot. It was first thought to be a staph infection of some kind. I know this kinda vague information and I am not looking for a solution, but a direction. Years ago I had a Piniella cyst in the same area and eventually it was removed. At first we thought this could be the same but it isn t. any help appreciated.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Bump on your sacrum seems to be due to abscess.
As this bump is painful you may need further investigation.
Do hot fomentation over swelling. It will take weeks to months to subside.

Use ring cushion and take sitz bath.
If not relieved then surgical correction may be required.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
