Can you exercise even if you have a pilonidal cyst?

Yes: You may exercise with a pilonidal cyst as long as you keep the cyst covered with a bandage and you do not have fever, chills or excessive drainage.

Yes: Just dont do any exercises that cause you to put pressure on the cyst. Mostly because it will hurt. Otherwise, if you feel upto it, there is no contraindication.
