An ingrown hair cyst, medically termed pilonidal cyst, is a small, benign growth that forms when a hair grows inward and becomes infected. It typically occurs in the crease between the buttocks, where there is a lot of pressure and friction.
Pilonidal cysts are often painful and can become infected if not treated properly. Treatment options include home remedies, such as warm compresses andSitz baths, as well as medical interventions like laser treatment and surgery. The first successful surgical removal of a pilonidal cyst was performed in 1880 by Dr. Henry Butlin.
