Question 2

Ive noticed that the skin near my tailbone has torn in the upper middle portion, and its been cracking. Its really painful, and Im not sure whats causing it. What could it be?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to a condition called a pilonidal cyst. This can cause pain and discomfort in the area. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to help with healing. Additionally, taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with the pain. If the pain persists or if there are signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage of pus, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
