Are tail cysts painful to remove

I am a 14 years old boy and I just came back from the doctor. I had like a hard pimple right between my buttocks and it hurt when I sit down on a chair or something. The doctor told me that it is a tail cyst and it needs to be removed or treated with medicines. She told me that usually the removal of the cyst is the easiest and fastest way to get rid of it. And right now I am freaking out. I have never had someone cut through my skin or something like that. I have never gone through any kind of surgery. Also after the surgery I need to go to the hospital every day to get the bandages and everything changed so it doesn't get infected. I am literally freaking out just by walking into a hospital and I cant imagine going there every day for about a month. And what am I going to say to my friends everyday after school? Bye, I don't have time to hang out with you, because I need to go to the hospital? I just cant imagine this happening. My dad told me that it is important to remove it in early age, because the longer it stays the harder it is to remove. So staying with it isn't a good idea. I just need to know if the surgery is painful and is it going to go away after it? I am terrified from hospitals and doctors. I just need someone to explain to me how is everything going to go. My doctor told me that it is okay and I will be fine, but I am still so scared. I literally want to cry. Like I feel like I am the only one from my friends with this thing. How am I going to explain to them why am I going to the hospital every day? I cant tell them the truth, it is embarrassing to think about having this thing and I definitely can't tell them. I am just freaking out.
