General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lump is most likely a pilonidal cysts which has gotten infected. This condition is caused by ingrown hair in this area. Such hair irritates tissues what leads to cyst creation. Such cyst can get infected. If so, pain, redness and swelling appears. IN case of inflammation the first thing which should be done is an incision and pus drainage of this area.
As a next step you should consult general surgeon and get scheduled for cyst removal.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
