I have a pilonidal cyst that a dermatologist simply froze off last spring. He thought it was a mole. It was painful for about 2 months afterwards. It was finally healing but I had rotator cuff surgery the first week of August and had to sleep in a semi-reclining position for over a month. This caused the cyst to drain (a clear fluid with no odor) and to get painful again.I dont think that just freezing it off was the best treatment. Where can I find a local Utah doctor to treat me who knows the best and newest procedures? I live in American Fork.Thanks.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Freezing colonial cyst is not a good idea. Such cyst is caused by ingrown hair which is inside. This hair irritates tissues and causes recurring inflammation. As long as the cyst won't be removed, the problem won't go away. That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this issue. Surgery should be done. Hope this will help. Regards.
