Cooking oils and meats are also a good source of fats. One cup of milk or yogurt or an ounce of cheese would be good examples of how much you should include in your daily diet during the healing process.
A pilonidal cyst is a small sac under the skin. Pilonidal cysts may become infected and cause an abscess (collection of pus). Pilonidal cysts may be caused by an ingrown hair. A hair may become ingrown if it rubs against your skin. The friction can cause hair to dig into the skin and get trapped there. A pilonidal cyst may look like a small hole or dimple in the center of your lower back. It is usually located right above your buttocks.
Certain individuals with a pilonidal cyst may not have any symptoms at all, and the only finding may be a dimple or an opening in the skin (sinus tract) near the cleft of the buttocks. However, if the pilonidal cyst becomes infected (pilonidal abscess), the following signs and symptoms may develop: 1  Pain over the lower spine. 2  Redness of the skin. 3  Warmth of the skin. 4  Localized swelling over the lower spine. 5  Drainage of pus from an opening in the skin (sinus tract) over the lower spine. 6  Fever (uncommon).
