What Are the Treatments for Pilonidal Cysts?
Pilonidal cysts are a common condition affecting the cleft just above the buttocks. Small pits full of hair, dead skin or other debris form and may even become infected. The condition is thought to be partially caused by increased exercise involving the area, like horseback riding or cycling. Some even think that sitting for long periods of time can also lead to pilonidal cysts. Regardless of how your pilonidal cysts form, there are several available treatments.
