Sore bump near tailbone

surgery will get rid of it

I have a lump in the same place as the rest of you but there isn't a sore. I get cysts on my thigh that do have sores and can be drained but this lump is simply just a lump that looks bruised. I barely noticed it a couple of days ago but now 2 days later and the pain is pulsating. Is this just it's beginning stage or is it something different. I've had this pain before but mostly felt like a bruise and the lump never got this big or hurt this much.

I do not want to read every response to the initial question, which seems to be the same situation I am in.  I have a sore bump just below and to the left of my tailbone. Unlike a few of the responses I did read (and why I dont want to read every post), it is not p***y/draining. It's just a sore bump that showed up out of nowhere earlier today. Or, at least, it was noticed today. Of course the go to when you search for something is a c**p ton of "cancer responses" pop up. Not every symptom is freakin cancer. What else could it be aside from cancer or a puss filled cyst? Are those my only possible options?

I was never a spot person i didn't fall on my bottom, but i suspect it's having vaginal sex through the back and adding a bit of weight after giving birth 18 months ago, I'm not fat I was size 10 bottom before having a child I later become a size 14, but now I'm uk size 12. i started to fill pain on my tail bone 3 days ago, I thought the pain would go away with paracetamol, the following day it started to get harder bigger and painful, I couldn't sit, walk or lie down properly, I googled it, it appeal to be pilonidal cyst, I took the advice of putting a warm cloth, I did it three times a day and took some co codamol it's seem to relive me for a few minutes and the pain comes back again. afret doing that for two days, the puss starts to come out on the third night and it stink tbh. I hope it doesn't come back again ad I don't want to go to the doctor p.s at first it was hard in between the tail bone, the warm cloth actually did wonders for me. I would say give it a try b4 seeing the doc.

yoyo88I got the exact same thing...went to doctor and its a small cyst that gets inflamed and swollen and hurts.they can remove it easily when it is not inflamed. When it starts really hurting u will have to release all the puss built up and it will feel much better.Pretty frikkin disgusting!

I got this when I was a teen and again here recently. My mother actually rubbed Vicks vapor rub AROUND the bump allowing it to come to a head then poked it with a safety pen and drain. So gross and it had a smell. I wish I wouldn't have to got through that again but it looks like I must. Thankfully, I'll be able to do it myself this time. Lol No mom to wipe my butt!

It may be, I have the same thing, and usually you have to wait for it to be ready to drain(forcing it can rupture the skin badly, causing more pain) but you can speed it up with warm baths, washcloths or hot compresses, after a while of that you shjould be able to push on it gently and drain it. Afterward, i recommend another warm bath (or shower) to clean the area. This should relieve pain.

Slowly but surely I think my ass is no longer broken, thank you everyone! I, too, was freaking and could not sit down. It was only on the right side of my crack. And really really hurts at the touch. The warm washcloth really helped. I will continue to utilize this.

Thanks for all of the responses this is horrible my is in the draining stages still hurts but the Dr said whatever I was doing to keep in up to allow it to drain Hot water with espom salt

Hello
Im only 15 years old and i have this bump on the right side of my tailbone and it hurts when I put pressure on it. Im also freaking out cause i dont know what it is and when i squeezed it-cause i thought it was a pimple or something clear fluid with blood came out. It wasn't alot though.

PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME!!!
Ive had that icthing rash for 8 years and finally with some heavenly luck im cured! i´ve been now a year now without a itch ,i waited till the next summer to be sure as it was always the worst when it got moist around that area.Even the swelled up bumps are gone!! No more itching ,no more bleeding,no funny bumps!
Im telling you this on one request ,please spread it on every forum where people have suffered like us.Let the information be free.I hope this will help you as it helped me.
I use to use a baby rash cream to stop the ichting and one day i could not find it so i used one of my wifes creams thinking anything will do.I then used it for about 7 days because it was hot and the cream helped and then the following week i forgot about the itching ( a baby and toddler running up and about lets your mind be elsewhere) and a month later i realised i havent scratched in awhile and now a year later im cured and summer is almost over and not a itch or a scar!!
I prayed and begged for a result ( yes im a christian ) and got it!! Jesus answers people and there aint no such thing as dum luck only heavenly luck!
So please let me know if it helped you as it helped me,of all the things i tried to figure out what did i do this was the only thing i came up with because my diet didnt change ,the creams i used before only helped with calming the itching.I USED MY WIFES PROGESTROL CREAM.
I beg you if it helps you ,help spread the information because it took years of my life to find out with no one to help the internet has nothing.

My daughter is 12 and she also has a sore bump on the top right side of her butt crack, I have no idea what it is?

Wow, it's like I'm reading my story. Lol. I am 23 also but I don't know if mine is different. I don't know if it's a cyst or not. Its not really a bump or at least not a big one, but there is a little soreness every once in a while. It has not got bad to where I can't sit or anything. In fact I don't feel it really. But if I squeeze in that area a lot of puss will come out. I know this sounds weird, but I go in the mirror so I can try and see if it's a bump. But I can't tell. No blood comes out or anything, just puss. Gets to a point where I can't feel the slightest of a bump and when I continue to squeeze nothing comes out. But I've had this happen 3 times now, I'd say within the past 2 months or so. Could it be a cyst or just maybe a deep pimple under the skin?

Hello, this is my first time having so much pain at my tailbone. Just by reading all the messages it feels like I have the same problem as many of you, however, I don't see an opening to have it drained or popped it open. Today was my day #2 of pain and it is red on the outside.

Hey everybody,
I figured I would weigh in on the topic as I developed a Pilonidal Cyst a couple days ago.
It started as a simple tenderness but then quickly grew to a definite pain, especially when sitting. The night I noticed it, there was considerable discomfort when I sat. The next day, it began to be bothersome while walking despite the smallness of the cyst. So I researched.
Here's the main point. There are two treatments. 1st is getting the cyst to drain. This can be one of two ways. Drain it yourself (preferable) or go to the doctor and have the area locally anesthetized and incised to have it drained that way. The 2nd treatment is for a pilonidal cyst that keeps on coming back after drainage; this treatment is surgery and I hear the recovery is not fun. I just got back from the doctor, and she said that since the cyst was already beginning to drain, keep treating it on your own and let it continue to drain.
So here are a couple things that I did to get it to drain: 1st, and the most obvious and easiest, is the warm compress. Just take a washcloth and soak it in hot water (not scalding), ring it out a little bit and place the rag on top of the cyst. This brings blood to the region and allows for the skin to soften slightly allowing the cyst to have a minor rupture which allows for drainage.
The second thing I did was application of Zinc Oxide cream (find it in the First Aid section of Walgreens, CVS, etc.). Whether this treatment actually helped to drain the cyst, I am not sure. Just wanted to throw it out there. There's some talk on the internet about ZnO working for cysts. Take it or leave it, however mine did begin to drain this morning. Scalpel evasion successful!
One other thing is keep the area clean! I used hydrogen peroxide with cotton pads to cleanse the area. You want the puss, blood and whatever else that drains to be cleared away.
The doctor told me to take a bath in epsom salts which will help to retract the fluid and she also placed me on the antibiotic Clindamycin.
Hope that helps guys!
