Question : I had a polynidal cyst removed over 20 years ago and part of the old incision has reopened, it's painful. What should I do?
Brief Answer:
Recurrence should be excluded.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Pilonidal Sinus/Cyst is more prone for recurrence.
Usually,the whole tract is excised during surgery.
If the scar is opened and is painful,it should be examined for recurrence.
I have seen few cases of infection at the scar site which got cured after Antibiotic therapy.There was no recurrence.
Please consult your doctor, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
