Hi..... If you have no symptoms then you will normally be advised to clear the affected area of hairs and to keep the area clean with good personal hygiene..... In most cases, an operation will be advised. There are various operations which are done to cure this problem. Your surgeon will be able to give the details and the pros and cons of each operation. ...... Consult surgeon.....
