An infected pilonidal cyst is really troublesome to deal with. It creates problems even going about the daily routine. In the initial stage, the symptoms of pilonidal sinus may not be much of a problem or just cause mild discomfort. But pilonidal sinus has a tendency to get severe with time. As the infection of pilonidal sinus becomes severe, the person cannot sit without feeling the pain or even comfortably lie down on their back. Thus, it requires proper and timely treatment. (Also Read: How does a pilonidal sinus start?)

If you think that you can leave pilonidal sinus untreated and it will disappear on its own, then you are wrong. To make you aware, it is not at all wise to leave pilonidal sinus untreated. Doing so will only add up to your miseries and increase the chances of unprecedented complications.

What happens if the pilonidal sinus is left untreated?

Well, not to scare but rather inform you, untreated pilonidal sinus can cause serious health complications.

Let’s get a detailed insight into the problems that untreated pilonidal sinus can lead to:

Formation of abscess

When an abscess forms due to prolonged pilonidal sinus, it causes intense pain and swelling in the affected area. Purulent discharge along with blood keeps oozing out of the cyst frequently. The discharge from the pilonidal cyst has a strong foul smell. Therefore, the person suffering from a pilonidal cyst has to change clothing many times a day. It also causes embarrassment and may even adversely affect work life as well.

The timely treatment of pilonidal sinus is of utmost necessity to keep away from the complication of multiple pilonidal cysts.

Increased risk of cancer

If a person leaves pilonidal sinus untreated or faces the troubles of recurrent pilonidal sinus, he or she is at increased risk of skin cancer. Such type of skin cancer that pilonidal sinus causes are called squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma occurs in rare and severe cases of pilonidal sinus. But, if it occurs, proper treatment of both cancer and the pilonidal sinus is mandatory.
