A member asked:

I was referred to a surgeon for my first painful pilonidal cyst that was draining fluid. it's not draining/painful anymore. is surgery necessary?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recurrence: Have a surgical evaluation. See what you our options & risks are. True pilonidal ctsrs may not resolve without eventual surgery. Observation & antibiotics can be tried with mixed results.
