How To Stop Hair Growth At The Site Of Pilonidal Cyst Removal?
After pilonidal cyst, i never had my stitches removed and now they have grown into a skin covering my buttline, which then has hairs I have to shave almost everyday.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of hair removal at the pilonidal site, my treatment advice is :
1. Avoid using hair removal cream or razor at that site.
2. Apply an Eflora cream twice daily on it.
3. Only curative treatment is hair removal by laser done by a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
