Cyst or boil
There is a cyst near tail Bone. I consulted a surgeon in my locality. He told it's a pilonidal sinus and to be operated. However, he gave me augmentin and now after 7 days, it looks like this. Here's the starting pic and end!!!

This is infected pilonidal sinus.
It needs incision and drainage.

Doctor might have meant incision and drainage if the boil doesn't subside and infection persist.. from your picture I hope it is healed with the medication itself.. confirm once with the consulted doctor
