A member asked:
Will a pilonidal cyst disappear on it's own? it was extremely painful 2 days ago, now less painful. do i go see a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst : If the swelling and pain has disappeared then the cyst has drained and will remain dormant. However if it swells and recurs you may have to see a colorectal surgeon as it will have to be surgically removed. Good Luck
