What Could A Hole Containing Hair Above Buttocks Indicate?

hello im probably going to a dr tomorrow but just to make sure its not something bad...im 16 years old (female) and i have a small hole about an inch from my butt hole and ive had it for about 2 months. I called the dr when i first saw it and they said its just a cyst. It still has not gone away and probably has gotten bigger. While cleaning it today i pulled a bunch of long, long hair from there and about an hour after i still have long hairs i can pull out. Thank you
