A member asked:
After researching i've found that i may have a pilonidal cyst but i have a white lump, not red, at the top of anus area. what's that mean?

Is it draining: Drainage from the area is more a telltale sign than skin color. Pilonidal cysts generally hurt alot and drain foul smelling fluid when infected. Some can sit dormant and just hurt . They usually requiring surgery to get rid of them .
