General Surgeon,  's  Response
I welcome you to health care magic for your health concerns
I am Dr Fahim, General Surgeon and I will be answering your query

I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. With available information it appears to be PILONIDAL SINUS. It is the most common pathology of this region with this type of presentation. It is caused by hairs entering the skin and causing swelling along with pus formation. There are different treatment options available, ranging from endoscopic to open procedures with good results. You need to see a general surgeon who will guide you further about treatment after examination. Wishing you all the best and rapid recovery.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate my answer if you like it.
