The accurate cause of this problem isn’t known, but its reason is believed to be a grouping of changing hormones (it develops after puberty), hair growth, and friction from clothes or from sitting for a long time.
Most pilonidal cysts are caused by loose hairs that break in the skin. Friction and pressure, skin rubbing against skin, bicycling, tight clothing, long periods of sitting or similar factors push the hair down into the skin.
The body responds to the hair as a foreign substance and forms a cyst around the hair.
Some factors that may increase the risk of getting a pilonidal cyst are:
Being obese
Being obese may influence a patient to pilonidal cysts because it increases pressure on the coccyx area. The deeper natal cleft in obese patients supports more moisture and debris buildup.
Being inactive
People who sit for long periods of time at home or work have a greater chance of developing pilonidal cysts. The continuous contact between the chair and the buttock cleft puts pressure and increases the probability of getting a pilonidal cyst.
Having poor hygiene
Hygiene is one of the most important factors in the prevention of a pilonidal cyst. Regular exfoliation and cleansing of that area helps in avoiding the chances of developing pilonidal cysts
Having excess body hair
Excessive hair growth above the buttocks gives a greater risk of getting pilonidal cysts because it increases the chances of the skin getting irritated.
People born with a pilonidal dimple
