Is every cyst on the butt

I just don't see it being pilonidal, as it doesn't hurt, doesn't weep, and is not on my spine.
It has a head on it, like a pimple, or an ingrown hair.
I am sitting down right now, and I would not know it was there if I didn't realize I had it.
 
Hahahaha. You need a dermatologist. Or a lawyer; either way, you need someone who's able to seize and de-cyst.

=P

A pilonidal cyst isn't actually a cyst, but an abscess (which is just an infected "pouch" beneath the skin) that is probably caused by an ingrown hair follicle becoming infected. The designation as pilonidal only refers to its location. As such, it doesn't necessarily drain or hurt. Like I said, I probably had mine for one or two years before the sinus (where it drains from) developed and inflammation occurred. Until that point, there was no pain or drainage.

So honestly, you should really get this checked out. If it's nothing, you're fine. If it's an abscess, then the sooner it's diagnosed, the easier it is to deal with.

I think he is "the catcher" so he is used to men knowing about his butt and on that note why don't you just have one of your boyfriends pop the damn thing an put some alcohol on it?
