Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
What you're describing could be either a pilonidal cyst (more common) or a dermoid cyst (less common). The former may need simple drainage (needle aspiration with local anesthesia), the management of the latter depends on findings on CT scan or preferably MRI and may require a surgical intervention. As such you are promoted to have the affected area examined and assessed by a physician in order to identify the exact nature of what you have and manage it accordingly.
