A pilonidal cyst is typically found near the tailbone at the top of the buttocks. It is a pimple-like pocket in the skin that usually contains hair and skin debris. Pilonidal cysts range in size and severity. They may become infected and filled with pus (a pilonidal abscess), a condition that can be painful. Pilonidal cysts are more common in men than in women and tend to afflict those who are often sitting down.
Most patients can resume their regular activities 2 to 4 weeks after surgery. During that time, you will need to avoid strenuous activities, use a donut cushion to sit on, avoid prolonged sitting, and never sit on a hard surface.
The cost of pilonidal cyst treatment in Phoenix can range from $300 to $3,500, depending on factors such as cyst severity and the procedure required (e.g., incision and drainage vs. full surgical excision). Your health insurance plan may cover a portion of the cost.
