A member asked:
I had a pilonidal cyst excision in jan 2013. over the past 3 days, my scar has become painful and swollen. could this be a new cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It could be a recurrence of your pilonidal cyst and it seems to be inflamed or infected. A general surgeon is best qualified to evaluate,advise and treat you for this problem, but if you are unable to see one as soon as possible, head to the hospital emergency room and their personnel will contact one if deemed necessary.
