A member asked:
I have an abcess above my buttcrack tialbone area? what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pilonidal cyst: If this is above the crack it is almost certainly a pilonidal cyst. As you start getting lower down in the anus region you have to be very careful about rectal abcesses which can be very serious. Pilonidal cysts often require surgery for correction.
