Brief Answer:
Pilonidal cyst.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This looks like a pilonidal cyst. Due to ingrown hair in this location tissues get irritated and create a cyst. This cysts gets infected from time to time and turns into an abscess. It is very characteristic for this condition to recur.
I suggest you to consult general surgeon with this issue. You should get scheduled for surgery. The cyst needs to be removed with surrounding tissues.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
