Cracked skin on tailbone Posted: 07-20-08 00:50am


I am having severe pain, like sitting on a knife but only when I lay on my back or sometimes on my side. I can't sit in a reclined position. The only time it is not painful is when I am sitting upright. The skin on the tailbone is split and raw. I use baby wipes when I use the bathroom to cleanse myself and have applied A&D ointment (not much help) and I am currently using something called BUTT Paste for diaper rash. It does not seem to help very much either. I have tried warm water showers, keeping the area very clean and moist just in case this is caused from dry skin. This problem seems to keep reoccuring. I don't know if this is pressure point skin break down or something going on with my tailbone which feels like it is coming through the skin. It is very painful. Does anyone have a similar problem with tailbone pain and cracked skin over the tailbone?
