I have a pilonidal cyst I've been dealing with since June of last year. I was treating it natural but a few days ago the skin around the cyst got hard and painful. I went to the Emergency Room and they quickly decided they have to lance the cyst. They did and a large amount of blood came out, no blood. They said the lancing wasn't satisfactory and that I should consult a specialist. They performed lots of blood tests and a CT scan. My white blood cell count was quite high but the CT was negative
