I had a pilonidal cyst about 1 year ago. The cyst became very painful and I went to my doctor. My doctor sent me to a surgeon to have it opened and drained. This solved for a while the problem, now I have noticed it came back, only this time it tends to open and drain on its own. It drains quite often and has me a bit concerned. should I have it looked at?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
I gone through your sufferings and I can understand the recurrent problem you face!
I must say that the previous surgery was not complete due to some technical region / local perineal approach problem or could be some post-operative infections too! Might be some left over granulomas/foreign body materials/contamination or inadequate post-operative care...
And yes, you need more treatment possibly a re-surgery with more time and more planning!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
