General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI,Thanks for the query to HCM.
Treatment for painful lump in tailbone-
In my opinion a boil in the cleft at the tailbone has aggressive infection causing cellulitis and waking up at night due to pain.
Treatment -
consult a surgeon and he would treat it accordingly with antibiotics / anti-inflammatory and Sos Incision Drainage.
Hope this would help you to plan treatment with mammography and ER doctor.
Welcome for any further query to HCM.
Hit thanks.
Good Day.
