What Does A Small Painful Hole At The Tailbone Indicate?
My 22 year old son has a small hole in at his tailbone area that has been giving him pain and has leaked some smelly liquid. He has now informed me he has numbness in the area and can't really feel when he wipes after a BM? Some pain in his left knee. Im scared!

Hi
Thanks for writing
The small opening at tail bone is most likely because of benign pilonidal sinus.It is non serious lesion and needs physical examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Thanks
Take care
