Weird tailbone abcess?!
Question: Weird tailbone abcess.?
Im male 24 yrs.. My tailbone started hurting.. after a couple day's the pain increased, and it felt like there was swelling involved.. It was strange cause originally it felt like the bone was hurting.. like i fell, and hit my ***.. moreover, the pain was uncomfortable.. On the third day the swelling felt worse and i couldn't sleep well.. feeling the spot i could tell the skin was starting to thin near the surface and i proceed to push on it until liquid(which was causing the most discompfort) white at first then clear mixed with black and eventually red.. it's been a day now and i feel alot better it still aches a little and i did drain it again but over all it's not like before and is tolerable.. What is it.? i think i took the appropriate measures.. I think as long as i keep getting the puss out it will eventually heal.. it's been 4 days..Health Question & Answer

GO SEE A DOCTOR haha
The exact same thing happened to someone I know when he broke his tailbone at 12 years old...... FAST FORWARD, HE'S 20 AND IT NEVER HEALED AND HE ONLY JUST GOT IT TREATED BY A DOCTOR TODAY O_O
But yeah, you can get a bad infection if that doesn't heal, and it probably won't without medical help because of its location.. Seriously, go see a doctor! XDHealth Question & Answer

If you fell hard the bone could have jabbed into your skin..I would definetly see a doctor if i were you..If you think you can tough it out though I'd put some ice on it and keep it comfyHealth Question & Answer
Sounds like it might be a boil.. Keep getting the pus out, and if it doesn't heal up soon see a doctor..Health Question & Answer
