Hi,
Thanks for your query.
A Pilonidal cyst may remain harmless. If it becomes infected, however, it will cause pain, inflammation and usually drainage of fluids. So I would suggest getting this evaluated by a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
