Doctors For Pilonidal Cyst Treatment In Mardan

A pilonidal cyst is an abnormally formed structure under the skin that resembles a pocket or a tunnel. It is normally filled with the debris of skin, hair, fluid, and pus. These can lead to the formation of cysts or abscesses.  A pilonidal cyst is nearly always located at the top of the cleft of the buttocks, closer to the tailbone. 

Pilonidal cysts usually occur when the hair is pricked and embedded in the skin. When a pilonidal cyst is infected, the resulting abscess is usually extremely painful. The cyst can be emptied by a small incision or may be removed surgically. Pilonidal cysts are more common in young men and the disease is recurring. People who sit for a long time, such as truck drivers, are at greater risk of developing a pilonidal cyst.

Pilonidal cysts are also called pilonidal sinus and are abbreviated as PNS. Timely diagnosis can treat the condition with antibiotics however if your sinus is recurring or if you have more than one cyst, a surgical procedure will be performed.
