How do i stop a pilonidal cyst from returning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: Consult a general surgeon as surgery is required to fully remove a pilonidal cyst and its sinus tracts. It is a somewhat complex procedure that requires weeks to fully heal,but if the incision has to remain open, healing may take months.
