TESTIMONIALSPilonidal disease, or pilonidal cyst is a cyst overlying the tailbone formed when skin or other skin appendages – particularly hair form inward rather than outwards (similar to an ingrown hair). These cysts get infected resulting in pain, redness and drainage along with or without fever or chills. These may open and drain on their own or often require oral antibiotics along with a drainage procedure to let the infection resolve. Once the infection is resolved then more definitive treatment can be performed which usually includes removal of the cyst and any of its tracts followed by local wound care for healing versus reconstruction. Dr. Som has done extensive research on the presentation and treatment of Pilonidal disease including education of other surgeons in local and national meetings on Pilnonidal disease and its treatment. He pioneered a reconstructive surgery that allows for more aesthetic healing combined with excellent cure rate. Contact us to schedule an appointment and learn more. Dr. Som and his expert team will tailor a specific treatment plan for you or your loved one that is focused on the optimal outcome with improved aesthetic results.
