Question
My child was born with a small hole on the tailbone, and the skin is now thick. He doesn’t complain of pain, so I’m curious about the cause?
Answer
The child is now five years old and had a small hole on the tailbone at birth, along with thickened skin in the area. This might be an indication of a hidden spinal bifida during the growth and development process. Since there are no symptoms, there is usually no need for special treatment.
