Pilonidal Cyst Treatment

Pilonidal Cyst Treatment, Resection and Reconstruction

What is a Pilonidal Cyst?

A pilonidal cyst is a common type of cyst tissue located in the crease of a persons behind due mainly from skin infection and poor blood flow. With more than 75,000 reported yearly, it is safe to say its a common cyst issue that has medical treatment for. If not treated, Pilonidal cysts can get infected even more and become chronic. Pilonidal cysts can cause discomfort and pain anywhere from the anus to the tailbone. 

Treatment for Pilonidal Cyst

The treatment plan for a pilonidal cyst is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on various factors that include:

  • if this is your first cyst?
  • if this is your first skin issue?
  • what medications you have taken?
  • Do you currently have other cysts?
  • What is your family history with the condition?

Depending on the type of cyst and condition, you may need surgery to remove the cyst completely. If surgery is not suggested, other methods for treatment include:

  • Drainage of fluids: A small incision will be made to open and drain fluid from the infected cyst.
  • Injection: Injections of medication can treat and prevent mild  pilonidal cysts.
  • Antibiotics: Antibiotics can treat the inflammation, but not remove the cyst. 
  • Laser treatment: Laser therapy can remove ingrown hair from the location without any surgery. Multiple treatment will be needed for completion.

If you are recommended to complete surgery, it’s important to look after the wound and maintain good hygiene as it may be prone to infection again. Your wound care doctor will guide you through the home recovery process.
