hole at the bottom of the tail bobe inbetween the butt cheeks of my 3yr old lil girl

[mommieakacole]

my daughter is 3yrs old and ive always noticed a small hole at the bottom of her tail bone between her butt cheeks i thought it was a dimple bc she was so chubby but yesterday i got a really good look at it and i seen it was a hole! it really freaked me out its about the size of the top of a pin. i have no idea what may have coused it, or if it maybe a serious issue. i made her a doc appt with her peds doc but i am very nervous it maybe something serious. ive never seen anything come out of it, but i know it is not normal. can someone please help  me Share this:Facebook

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
What your daughter has could be spina bifida or pilonidal sinus. In spina bifida the lower end of the spine does not close. Pilonidal cyst and sinus are almost the same. A sinus is always there and if its outer mouth is open, it keeps draining fluid. If the outer mouth is closed, then a cyst forms. Both begin with a hair invading the skin layers through a dilated hair follicle, thus forming a sinus tract.
Since I cannot examine your daughter I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult her pediatrician for examination to clinch a diagnosis. Take care!
