Hello,Im a 19 years old male, 5 feet 11 inches, and 164 pounds. Ive recently noticed a roughly 2cm in diameter red (probably because Ive touched it), solid/firm lump next the bottom of my tailbone. It is not on top of the bone itself, but rather to the left of it, and on top of the skin there. It is painful when I touch it. There is no noticeable blood, pus, holes (as in the case of maybe a pimple or a bug bite). Im quite worried about this. Medical history
HI, Dear, Thanks for the query from you for your 2 cm, red painful hard-lump at the tailbone? .1-I am happy that you are serious to know why this painful tailbone-lump occurs?2-In my opinion this 2\u00a0cm sized red firm solid painful lump is of the -infected colonial cyst and is infected with the cellulitis and induration of the tissue in it and around.3-Though the medical history is elucidative, does not appear to be relevant to the main lump question and is diverting from the main question and hence needs no comments.4-But would explain, why this red lump occurred now-is due to the extensive stress leading to the infective colonial sinus to crop up on the tail bone.5-I would advise General surgeon to Chat Doctor. 6-Hence I would suggest you to go to ER Surgeon or the orthosurgeon for the evaluation and treatment of such cases.8-Hope this would resolve the causative worry of the patient in question. If treated on this line, the fearing patient, should not worry you much.9-Hope this would solve your worry of the red painful lump.10-Wellcome to Chat Doctor for any more query.
