What Do You Suggest For A Swollen Lump Around The Location Of My Tailbone?

I have a large swollen "lump along the area around the location of my tailbone. It sort of sits near the top of my buttocks. I am pretty sure it is not a pilonidal cyst. It is painless but increases and decreases in size. I feel a ridge when I do exercises on my back-like crunches or sit ups.

Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

Such painless swollen lump on back at site of tailbone can be lipoma / dermoid cyst.

I need to know for how long it is there?
Is it mobile of fixed swelling?

I will advice you to visit your doctor in person so that complete examination and evaluation of the swelling can be done.

Once diagnosed, correct advice regarding its management can be given.

Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion , I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion. If you wish to discuss the problem further with me , you may ask through section of PREMIUM query , directed on my name.
Stay Healthy.
