What Is The Hard Lump At The End Of The Tail Bone Near Anus?
I have a hard lump I noticed on my tailbone right above the crack of my buttocks. It isn't painful, and I noticed it while laying down. It is about the size of a quarter. It is underneath the skin, and I really don't know what it is. I'm scared and I've never had one of these before. I also have a small lump near my anus that has been here for about 3-4 days. I also am a female the age of 17. What could this be?

Hello, Thanks for your query. Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include , cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
