Hi, last night I felt pressure and numbness at my tailbone area, right at the top of the buttox crack, When I touched the area with my fingertip I noticed fluid. I had my fiance take a look and there was no hole that the fluid was excreting from, just a very tiny cut or slice in the epidermous. It i numb and there is alot of fluid coming out of it. what should I do, should I seek medical treatment or is an internal sist on my tailbone? I do have osteoarthritus in my hips and lower lumbar along with disk displacement and degenerative disk disease.
Hello, The problem looks to be due to piloanoidal sinus. At present, you should do following to have relief- -Keep the area clean. You may wash it with local antiseptic solution.-Avoid continuous pressure on that area. Avoid long sitting jobs.-Take an anti-inflammatory agent like acetaminophen.-Apply a brand spectrum antibiotic preparation like Newsprint H.-In case it does not improve then consult to your physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
