Is this near your tailbone? If so, you might have a pilondal cyst. Please see you doctor for diagnosis and treatment. These can become quite painful and very swollen if not treated immediately. If this is a pilondal cyst, there are several ways to treat it with the easiest being an I & D (incision and drainage). While easiest, it is also the least likely method to prevent a recurrence. Meds for pilondal cyst are indicated only for infection...there are no meds to treat or cure it. However, without a visit to the doctor, there is no way of knowing if you have a pilondal cyst or a totally different issue. Please see your doctor.
