hard lump on tailbone

so I have had this lump, hard seems to move with my tailbone as if it's part of it. Researched pilondial cysts etc and have now convinced myself it's cancer. I have a hospital phobia! Only small lump, pea size? scared to death, just feels a bit painful when I sit, OK walking etc. Help!!!

It's not a lump I could pop, it feels like hard bone, I don't know if it's just my tailbone and it's always been been like this or it's something more sinister. Terrified of hospitals and procedures

Hi,  Use hot water bag.  Last month I had this same issue but was embarrassed to go to my Doctor. I boiled water and used the old fashion hot water bag,  The heating pads are not hot enough.  This lump will pop after a few hot compress.  If you are worried of Cancer, you must see your Doctor.
I hope this helps.
