Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Your history points to an inflamed lesion near your tail bone, could be a boil or cellulitis in the perianal region. And also the lump could be an abscess which is not responding to the Ibuprofen. This needs a clinical examination of the lump with possible investigations to arrive at a diagnosis for avoiding complications later on. Therefore, I would refer you to a surgical specialist for further management of your problem. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
