making the diagnostic call requires an exam; not something that can be accomplished over the internet. i pilonidal cyst/abscess is a possibility but so are other skin abscesses (like sebaceous cysts). i would suggest that you see a medical provider and have this painful area properly examined so you can have a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.
do i have pilonidal cyst? . hello. i felt pain in my buttock yesterday. i checked and i have small bumb in my buttcrack about few centimeters above anus. and also that area is red. i thought it's just a pimple and it will pass but it still hurts. i googled and it looks like a pilonidal cyst. but that bumb in pilonidal cyst seems to be above buttcracks and my bumb is inside. so my question is do i have pilonidal cyst or it's just some pimple? . please help i'm terrified.
