Welcome to healthcare magic
Hi Im Dr Fahim. I will help you with your problem
What i gather from your question
- two very hard lump on either side of my tailbone
- it is right on top of the buttcrack
- it is very painful and you think it is under a skin
Based on the symptoms and area involved it is appears to be PILONIDAL SINUS?? But this needs further elaborate HISTORY ie When did you notice it? How you noticed it? Its progression? Is there any discharge? Is it associated with fever? What are the relieving and aggravating factors? Do you have a desk job or you drive alot? etc Followed by Clinical examination.
I hope this will help in solving your problem. Wishing you rapid recovery. Please do rate my answer if you like it
Regards
