What is a Pilonidal Cyst?
A pilonidal cyst is a pocket under the skin, usually near the tailbone,
that can fill with hair, skin debris, and fluid. These cysts often become
infected, leading to pain, redness, drainage, or swelling. If left untreated,
a pilonidal cyst can recur or cause complications.
