A pilonidal cyst is an abnormal pocket of skin that is almost always found at the top of the cleft of the buttocks, near the tailbone, and typically contains hair and skin debris.

PHOSPHORUS :Useful for pilonidal cyst when there is a thin, profuse blood discharge from the cyst. Burning in the surrounding skin may also appear.
