Usually, the first episode of SP occurs acutely, in the form of an abscess, with reddening of the skin, pain and bulging, and ends when the skin is opened (by a surgeon, physician or spontaneously) and the accumulated pus drains.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the process can be very “gentle” and not produce a frank discharge or intense pain, but the fistulous orifices (holes in the skin at the bottom of the groove between the buttocks) remain.<\/p>\n

In the long term, the evolution can vary from very symptomatic cases with “dry” fistulous orifices and hardly any discomfort, to repeated episodes of abscess. In addition, new infectious tracts are often created after each of these episodes, with one or more fistulous holes in the skin intermittently discharging pus or blood, without producing new abscesses. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    As we know, the pilonidal<\/b> cyst is located in the region above the intergluteal fold, an area of treatment for this specialist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
