About pilonidal cyst
A pilonidal cyst or sinus is a small pocket or channel in the skin of the cleft at the top of the buttocks, near the tailbone, often containing hair and debris. It is most common in young adults, men, people with thick body hair and those who sit for long hours. Ingrown hairs, friction and sweating let bacteria in, leading to a painful, red swelling, and, if infected, an abscess with pus, a bad smell and sometimes fever. An abscess needs to be drained by a doctor, and a long-standing sinus often needs minor surgery; recurrence is common. Keeping the area clean and dry, removing hair carefully, avoiding prolonged sitting and maintaining a healthy weight reduce the risk. Homeopathic treatment is supportive and does not replace drainage of an abscess.
