A member asked:
Solid movable lump by tailbone. feels like rubber. about the size of a raw bean. there's a pit but is it a lipoma or pilonidal cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pilonidal: Most likely a pilonidal cyst. Could be lipoma, but less likely if its in the right location (top of gluteal crease) for pilonidal and associated with a pit. Hope this helps!
