Does lancing a pilonidal cyst hurt? if so, what hurts about it ?

Pilonidal cyst: Sure, incising tissue can hurt. Depending on how extensive the procedure is, you may have some pain afterwards. However, if significant discomfort is anticipated - the provider can order medication to help with that.

Cuts hurt: Anytime you cut your skin it hurts right? Well "lancing" is cutting.
