Unknown Hole Developed In My Skin Posted: 11-20-06 02:20am
About six months ago I noticed a small
indentation develope in my skin in the
area just beneath the tip of my tailbone
inside the cleft of my buttocks. It is a
small hole barely the diameter of a
cue-tip. On a couple of occasions I have
had blood come out of this "hole" or
indentation, sometimes in small amounts
sometimes larger but never more than a
tablespoon or so.
Recently I took a shower to try and flush
out the hole, thinking it may be an
infected boil or pimple or something.
Upon applying pressure to the area blood
would exit the hole, and eventually seemed
to stop or empty out.
There is no pain in the area or swelling.
No pus has ever come out of the hole.
There has been no blood until just
recently when I was involved in a game
involving lots of physical activity
(sports). Upon removing my undershorts I
noticed that I had bled a small amount and
that applying pressure caused more blood
to come out.
I have no idea what this is, where it came
from, what it is called and if it is
serious or not. For the time being it is
simply inconveniant to fear ruining my
pants or undershorts by bleeding all over
them.
I would greatly appreciate anybody that
could tell me more about this bizarre
condition I seem to have acquired.
Thank you

no, but I highly doubt it
has anything to do with std's...Seeing as
how i've never had sex... (virgin alert)
no, I recently went to the Dr. And he
agreed with me that he thought it was a
pilonidal cyst. It's pretty much healed
on its own for now, but it may come back,
but i'll be ready for it next time....
Thanks for your concern though,
cheers

Yes, I am glad you went to a doctor and
found out what this was. I have had the
same thing except unfortunately mine got
infected, was very painful and had to be
lanced. Ouch! But it never came back and
that was about 20 years ago. The doctor
at the time said recurrences are not
uncommon.
