Suggest Remedy For Painful Blister Below Coccyx
I have a sore (maybe a pimple or boil type thing) right below my tailbone. It hurts to touch and at times sitting can be uncomfortable. Is it a cyst? Is it possible to treat this with something over the counter? I have good hygiene but do sweat a lot.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible it is a cyst ( a sac that may collect fluid, it can become infected).
It may also be an abscess which is a localized collection of pus.
It would be best to be reviewed by your doctor. The lesion may need to be incised and, if infected, antibiotics given.
If it is a cyst then it would be best to have the sac removed or it will recollect.
I hope this helps
