What Causes Painful Bump On Tail Bone?

I have this pain at the end of my tail bone due to a boil . This thing has recently started secreting blood and pus. I googled it and it seems that I have a pilonidal cyst which I am still not sure. What do you reckon I should do to treat this, as it is annoying and painful particularly because of the location it is at.

Hi, Welcome to healhcaremagic. After going through your query I concluded that you may be having simple boil in anal region. You have not mentioned the duration of your pus discharge.If it is more than 2 weeks duration then it can be pilonodal sinus,for which you need to see general surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. For boil you need analgesic such as ibuprofen and antibiotics. Vitamin B and C helpful in recovery. You can discuss your doctor about it. I think your query get answered. If you have additional questions and clarification don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
