Painful Bum on the tailbone
My daughter is having a problem with the painful bump on her tailbone. This occurred 2 days ago. It's very uncomfortable and she says it's painful as well as it's itchy. I have applied T-Bac ointment on that area and has given her Flexon tablet. I have applied Ice Pack on the area as well.

Is she having hair over that area and discharge? Likely to be a pilonidal sinus. Take any simple antiboiotic and anti inflammatory as of now..plan a visit to a general surgeon or plastic surgeon after inflammation settles
