I am 21 Years old. Quite reciently I have been experiencing discomfort around my tailbone. Today when I looked in the mirror at that area i noticed a spot the size of a pinprick where the skin looked inverted. This is where I have been experiencing the discomfort.
A close friend of mine who was a nurse for a very long time told me that it is probably a hole at the base of my spine. She said that if I don't go to the doctor it might get infected and a cyst might form.
I am freakin out. Will having kids make it worse? My husband and I have been trying to have kids for a while--I am scared. What am I suppost to do?
Does this sound like it is related to Spina Bifida Occulta? The hole was just a soft spot at first and now the skin is getting sucked in. Someone please if you could offer any advise please.
