Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such painful lumps in the mentioned location are most likely caused by a pilonidal cyst. This condition is caused by ingrown hair which irritates tissues and causes inflammation. From time to time the pus accumulates inside causes pain and hardness.
The best way of its treatment is a surgical removal. Please consult a surgeon with this issue.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
