Check whether you got hurt earlier at the cocyx bone- tail bone, if not it may be a cyst getting infected off and on and so also the swelling and leading towards a problem called Pilonidal sinus. consult a Medicine specialist. Avoid Surgical intervention as it re-occurs. This could be successfully treated with certain selective Ayurvedic medicines.
