Common symptoms: A painful lump in the tailbone area, redness, swelling, and, when it becomes infected, drainage of fluid or pus with discomfort when sitting.

Common causes: It is associated with hair growing inward into the skin, friction, and prolonged pressure on the area.

If a painful lump appears in that region or you notice signs of infection, it is advisable to have a professional check it to determine the best course of action.
