Thanks everyone for the advice! I have been to a doctor- turns out it's just an abscess from sitting down a lot (I've had a lot of uni revision lately so barely left my desk!). I'm waiting for a slot at the Surgical Assessment Unit so they can decide whether to pop it or leave it alone. I have antibiotics anyway. It's usually hairy guys who get infected pilonidal sinuses (which turn into pilonidal cysts/abscesses), and I'm a girl so mine is more than likely just from sitting down a lot. Thanks guys!
Is it normal that I have a really painful lump near coccyx?
