A member asked:

I have a reacurring sebaceous cyst on my tailbone and i'm 5 wks prgnt. i'm concerned about infection to my baby. how urgent is it for me to be seen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See you doctor soon: It may not be a sebaceous cyst , most likely it is pilonidal cyst , Infection may cause complications , even in pregnancy infection ( pus ) can be drained under local anesthesia . Speak to your OB doctor
