Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
What you have is a Pilonidal cyst possibly with an abscess. You should see a surgeon, preferably a colorectal, to have definitive treatment with drainage.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
