Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.Your symptoms are suggestive of pilonidal abscess leading to pilonidal sinus formation.

So i would advice you to consult a general surgeon and get physical examination done for confirmation of the diagnosis.It needs drainage and a course of antibiotics.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
