I'm not a doctor, but it does sound like you have what is called a pilonidal cyst, caused by a hair that was ingrown since maybe birth and has finally formed an abscess or cyst. It is very painful until it opens up and drains, but will not go away until it is surgically removed.

Please have your doctor look at it and confirm this or let you know what is going on.

It will close up again. The hair you see is probably not from your head. Go to a doctor!

Nope. You always risk that until the cyst has been surgically removed. I had frequent painful infections until I finally had surgery.

Of course, only your doctor can determine that this is a pilonidal cyst. It might be something else. How old are you?

Yes, I get that. It will close up and probably get infected again, if it is a pilonidal cyst.

Do not mess with it. Go to your doctor to have him check out the hair.

No maybes. DO IT! This will happen again with a new infection and more pain. Sitting in class makes it get bad faster. Been there, done that.
