A member asked:
Is a pa qualified to remove a pilonidal cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
