This can occur due to a Pilonidal cyst which takes some time to form.Other causes would include Tarlov Cyst or Arachnoidal Cyst both of which may be connected to the spinal cavity .It would be prudent to get imaging studies like a CT/MRI scan done to pinpoint the diagnosis.Bony lesions from the sacrum will need to be ruled out.
