Signs and Symptoms
Pilonidal cysts are often very painful, affect men more frequently than women, and typically occur between the ages of 15 and 35. Although usually found near the coccyx, the condition can also affect the navel, armpit or genital region, though these locations are much more rare.
Some people with a pilonidal cyst will be asymptomatic.
