2 weeks back, if you notice the slight pinkish line between two arrows, it was more pinkish and it was severely itchy(itchy as if you have scratched it hard, and when you done with itching it burns). So, that reduced gradually and it is like this now. But problem is tissue in that area is sore/tender now. Is this a fungal infection or pilonidal disease? Can the disease exist without a cyst and hole in the cleft? When I squeeze my buttocks, my tailbone area feels painful. I am in the UK, and i got an appointment with the GP after next two weeks :(. I am scared as the pain persisted so long. To ensure if it's coming from bone, i pressed bone hard but no pain, but when i pull the cleft muscle sideways, it is painful. Right now i am on paracetamol since yesterday but not much relief. Also I googled it and am anxious about tailbone cancer(chordoma) now :(. Being alone and not being able to contact doctor is scaring me! Please help :(
