What Causes Pain And Pressure In The Tailbone?

I have had pain from my tailbone after a recent hospitalization that I thought came from pressure on it from lying in bed for several days. Two weeks later I m still sore in that area and now the skin is dark and feels rough in that area. What can this be?
