Welcome to Healthcare Magic
You probably have a pilonidal sinus which is infected. It requires dressing and antibiotic treatment. Surgery may be indicated according to the chronicity to close this tract. It is seen in hairy men commonly. Consult your Surgeon at a Hospital for the various treatment options and the best option for you.

Hi Daniel,

Welcome to HCM.

Read your problem,the description you have given looks like you have furnculitis which is caused by bacteria staphylococcus. You need to take antibiotic other wise it may spread which will be associated with pain and have pus.Consult your surgeon to extract pus and for further management.

Wish you good health.
