More info: where exactly is this? near your tailbone? Is it hard or soft? Is it moveable or fixed? Is it close to the anus? Do you have other symptoms, ie rectal bleeding etc? Is it under the skin or hanging off of the skin. possibilities include abscess, cyst, hemorrhoid, lipoma etc depending on where it is
