Pilonidal Cyst & Buttock Abscess Surgery in Plano, TX
Understanding Pilonidal Cysts and Buttock Abscesses
Pilonidal cysts are abnormal pockets in the skin, usually located near the tailbone, that can become infected and form painful abscesses. These conditions can cause discomfort, swelling, drainage, and recurrent infections. Surgery is often the most effective way to fully resolve the problem and prevent recurrence.
When to Seek Surgical Care
Consider evaluation if you notice:
- Pain, redness, or swelling near the tailbone
- Drainage or foul odor from the affected area
- Recurrent infections or cyst flare-ups
- Difficulty sitting or performing daily activities due to discomfort
Timely surgical intervention reduces the risk of repeated infections and long-term complications.
