Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
From your description it could be an infected pilonidal sinus, or infected sebaceous cyst or furuncle. Without an opportunity to closely examine the lesion, I would not be able to accurately specify the condition. You might need to consider a consultation with dermatologist for assessment and treatment. A course of antibiotics is usually required to control the infection.
Hope this helped.
Take care.
