Pilonidal Cysts?

Question

Anyone ever experianced it? Can it go away by itself?

Answer 1

Most people have to have surgery.

"Treatment of this problem is surgical. Initial therapy includes identification of the problem as well as antibiotic therapy if an infection is present. If an abscess (a collection of pus which is deeper in the tissues) is present an incision and drainage is required. This will assist resolution of the infection when antibiotics are also used."

Answer 2

I have never had it, but I know for a fact that it can not go away without surgery.
