Pilonidal Cyst?

DeathStalkerMember

The last two days I've had soreness near my tailbone (slightly above it to the right). When I touch the area, it feels like the muscle has been bruised. I feel no actual bump, etc. but just soreness. Now I'm paranoid that it could be the onset of a Pilonidal Cyst. Should I be concerned or is this probably just a pulled muscle, etc.?

It could be, but until something actually develops, there is nothing to do other than wait and see. Hot baths would help it to "ripen" if that is your destiny.

Deathstalker, has anything developed with this? I also have tailbone discomfort along with anal pressure (feeling like something is pressing down from the inside). I've been diagnosed with a Bartholian Abscess (female) and am wondering if there is more to this.

I have a K-pouch. I had a pilonidal cyst years ago. It was right near the tip of my tail-bone. Now, I think I am getting another cyst. It is a bit to the left of my tailbone in my buttock. Feels like a little hard lump. It is not 'ripe' - nothing is coming out. Should I just leave it alone? It only feels a little sore if I press on it.

Thanks.
