Pilonidal cyst is a relatively common problem especially in young adults. Men are affected 2-4 times more often than women. Pilonidal cysts occur more frequently in people who sit for extended periods, such as truck drivers, and the problem tends to recur. It is almost always located near the coccyx, at the top of the buttock slit. Pilonidal cyst is an acquired disease, with hairs growing in the area of \u200b\u200bthe medullary slit being the cause of the problem. It usually occurs when the hairs pierce the skin and then integrate
