The main concern for a tailbone cyst is infection which can even result in painful abscess, so it is important to treat it as soon as possible. Tailbone cysts are basically pockets of skin in the cleavage of the buttocks close to the end of the tail bone. The treatment involves removal of hair from this area or a surgery to drain the cyst.


But as all cases are different your specialist will decide according to the severity of your condition. If the problem is mild regular shaving can also solve the problem but if it is severe then your specialist may recommend a surgery to open and drain the cyst.
