It's called a pilonidal cyst, and it can become infected and filled with pus. Once infected, the technical term is ?pilonidal abscess,? and it can be painful. It looks like a large pimple at the bottom of your tailbone. If your cyst becomes a problem, your doctor can drain it or take it out through surgery. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
