Your provider will start by giving you a full physical examination. During the exam they'll check the crease of your buttocks for signs of a pilonidal cyst. If you have a pilonidal cyst, it should be visible to the naked eye. Your provider might spot what looks like a pimple or oozing cyst.
Boils and cysts can both look like bumps on your skin. The main difference between a cyst and a boil is that a boil is a bacterial or fungal infection. Most cysts are slow-growing and benign (noncancerous), and they aren't contagious. Boils, on the other hand, can spread bacteria or fungi on contact.
Doctors think that pilonidal cysts form when loose hair and dead skin cells get trapped under the skin. When we sit or bend, skin in the tailbone area stretches. This can cause hairs to break off. As a person moves, the broken hairs and dead skin cells can get pushed under the skin.

A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small hole or tunnel in the skin. It may fill with fluid or pus, causing the formation of a cyst or abscess. It occurs in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. A pilonidal cyst usually contains hair, dirt, and debris.
The main distinguishing feature compared to a perianal fistula is that a pilonidal sinus does not communicate with the anal canal; if there is any uncertainty on initial inspection, a rigid sigmoidoscopy or MRI imaging can be performed to assess for any internal opening of a tract.
In literature it is also reported another condition from which can arise an anal fistula: the pilonidal disease. This etiology occurs very infrequently, when the sinus reaches the anal region and simulates an anal fistula (4–6). Almost all the cases have reported a posterior localization of the perianal opening (7).
