I noticed some swelling near my tailbone and it looks like it might be a pilonidal sinus. Which specialist should I see for this and will I need surgery to treat it
Swelling near the tailbone could indeed indicate a pilonidal sinus, a condition characterized by a small, often painful, pit or hole in the skin near the tailbone. These sinuses can become infected, leading to swelling, pain, and sometimes pus drainage. If you suspect a pilonidal sinus, it's best to consult with a general surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've got this lump near my butt crack that's been giving me some trouble. Sometimes it itches, and other times it really hurts. There's even this green pus-like stuff coming out of it, which is pretty gross and uncomfortable. Can you tell me what kind of doctor I should see about this?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
