| | Pilonidal cyst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Often the cyst is lanced, and surgery is a method that has met with some success for curing pilonidal cysts. | | | One theory is that a small and harmless cyst has always been present at birth, and that for some reason, it has become irritated and formed a painful abscess. | | | Treatment for a pilonidal cyst usually begins when the patient goes to the doctor because of pain. |

| | Pilonidal cysts are more common in those who have an abundance of body hair and / or those who have considerable rubbing of the skin in the fold of the buttocks. | | | It is helpful to be able to identify the pilonidal lesion, explain its cause, and guide these patients through a conservative care approach or refer them to the appropriate specialist, while tending to their chiropractic needs. | | | However, only 50% of cysts and sinuses are found to have hair during surgical exploration. |

| | What It Is |
| | A Pilonidal (Abscess, Cyst, Sinus, Dimple) is an abscess in the natal cleft (more commonly referred to as your butt crack) that tends to become infected and cause intense pain and drainage. | | | At one time it was believed that Pilonidals were all congenital, however, current medical philosophy is that very few of these abscesses are congenital and most are acquired. | | | FACT: The peak incidence of Pilonidal Disease is between 16 and 26 (however, older and younger happens regularly too). |

| | Malignancy arising in a chronic wound seems to have a worse prognosis than cutaneous malignancies arising de novo on the skin, hence early detection is imperative[9]. | | | Regardless of the surgical technique concerned, standard principles of wound care are essential with repeated depilation of the natal cleft, removal of hair and any debris from the wound bed and keeping the wound edges separated using an appropriate dressing. | | | Chronic pilonidal sinuses are best treated with wide excision and secondary healing. |
