Based on your description — a red, crack-like opening near the tailbone — it’s possible that you may be dealing with a pilonoidal sinus or cyst, especially if it’s tender, red, or occasionally discharges fluid. These typically occur in the crease of the buttocks and can result from ingrown hairs, friction, or prolonged sitting.
What to Watch For:
• Persistent or increasing pain
• Swelling or warmth around the area
• Pus or blood discharge
• Fever or general unwell feeling
Advise:
1. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid tight clothing or prolonged sitting.
2. Avoid squeezing or touching it.
3. Apply a warm compress 2–3 times a day if there’s pain or swelling.
Consult a general surgeon — they can examine it to confirm if it’s a pilonidal sinus or something else and advise if antibiotics or a minor procedure is needed.
