 [ Symptoms ] 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 is 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 is just some pimple  please help i am terrified [ Disease ] making the diagnostic call requires an exam not something that can be accomplished over the internet i pilonidal cystabscess 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
