Pilonidal Cyst Disease

Pilonidal cysts are a condition that develops over the tailbone. They are caused by the penetration of hairs into the skin through hair follicles. Because of the inflammation caused by the penetrating hairs, a cyst will form around the hair and lose skin debris.

Symptoms of a pilonidal cyst may include:

  • Pain over the lower spine
  • Redness and swelling
  • Skin feels warm to the touch
  • Drainage of pus

For those who have experienced them, they can be painful and unsightly. To learn more about this condition click here.

Pilonidal cysts may require surgical drainage or removal along with disinfecting.

Electrolysis for Pilonidal Cysts

After pilonidal cysts are removed or drained, they can have a tendency to come back. Therefore, it’s very important to keep the affected area free from hair.

Shaving, tweezing (which can cause ingrown hair) and hair removal creams are options for keeping hair in the affected area from coming back.

A more permanent option for preventing hair from coming back is electrolysis.

Electrolysis is a more effective solution for preventing the recurrence of pilonidal cyst disease.

Sessions will generally occur every 6-8 weeks or as the need arises. When you use electrolysis to treat pilonidal cysts from recurring, even hairs that are not permanently removed are converted into thin, benign hairs. This will greatly reduce your chances for a recurrence.

If you’re looking for the peace of mind that comes from reducing the odds of your pilonidal disease from coming back, consider electrolysis as a permanent solution.
