A member asked:

Is a pa qualified to remove a pilonidal cyst?

Dr. Shyamali Singhal answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Surgeons : A pa can take care of the urgent issue if it is infected. Treatment for pilonidal cysts is more complicated than appears on the surface. Would recommend a general surgeon or a plastic surgeon be the one to take definitively care of it.
