What should i do to prevent the pilonidal cyst come back after the surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good hygiene.: Keep the area clean, lose weight if needed, and avoid prolonged sitting. You might also want to shave the area regularly (or use hair removal products). Sometimes they recur anyway, no matter what you do; but the above will decrease the chances.
