A question about anatomy; tail bone anatomy.

so i have a peculiar question and i feel silly asking it as maybe I should know this.
but i traced my lower spine with my hand and all the way down the end and near my ‘butt’ is a little lump, a hard little lump what I imagine is a bone, it seems very attached to the rest of the spine. I found as it noticed it whilst wiping…sorry.
Is this little bump/bone the bottom of my coccyx?
Or is it a bump i should get checked out by my doctor, i’ve looked on line at the anatomy of a tail bone and it seems to be part of my skeleton?
It’s quite an embarrassing question to be asking here but Ithought i’d try -as the doctor might just laugh at me. I was laying on my side when i did it, I can’t feet it standing up as it’s quite under if that makes sense…. anyway thanks
