What Does A Purple Spot And Swelling On Bottom Of The Tailbone?
hello i have a purple spot and the bottom of my tailbone (top of buttcrack) on one side only. it s a little bit swollen and feels kind hard and warm to touch. it hurts alot when i touch it, when i sleep on my back, or when i sit on a hard surface. this thing usually appears whenever i sit down alot for long periods of time (right now i have finals and i spend most of my day sitting on a hard chair). what could it be? and how can i relieve the pain?

Hi
This could be a hemangioma. And has become painful now. Usually these are benign growths and excision is the solution to this problem.
