A member asked:
I had a pilonidal cyst that was drained a few weeks ago, its been over 2 weeks since i last had pain. now the wound site is a bit tender and swollen why?

If cyst was drained and not removed, it is likely to have become reinfected. You may need to see a surgeon who will excise (remove) the cyst. Otherwise it is likely to return again and again
