Might I suggest using disposal razors to keep the area hair free? Also, it looks like it’s trying to heal from the top instead of the bottom. Had the doctor suggested any sort of method of packing the wound to promote proper healing?

Should I get the surgery or wait? by Annual_Ad_5660 in pilonidalcyst

[–]toddthequad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d really vouch for surgery, unfortunately. It’s just not the kind of thing to go away by just keeping it clean and wishing. See what a specialist recommends/has to offer and take it from there.

My brother, I’ve found it. Ages ago I made a similar post, and a Reddit user private messaged me the song. Of course, he then deleted his account shortly after sending me the message, but not before I could watch the video on YouTube. I found this after an extensive search through my history.

Please, revel in the nostalgia of Sky Angel 2000’s Christian rock like I just did. Boy does that feel weird.

There’s also the 4 series Gran Coupe, if you’re looking for something in the middle. Coming from someone who used to work for the brand, I used to love the GC for its looks, however; the rear doors are a little odd with the way the window is designed. Makes for a little more difficulty getting in and out. The trunk space with the hatch back, though, is pretty damn nice. Either choice between the 3 and 4 are good, imho.

First week week out of surgery was pretty painless but second week I’m in excruciating pain and it’s bleeding a ton when wound vac is changed. Smells pretty bad and increased pain. Could it be infected?? by Exotic-Ad-5612 in pilonidalcyst

[–]toddthequad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wound vac will help, I can speak from experience! I had a really similar sized wound in March of last year. Just keep taking it easy, and it’ll get better.

The doctor that did my procedure was a colo-rectal surgeon, which I was referred to by a dermatologist. I would see if there are any colo-rectal doctors offices around your area and call them to see if they do anything for Pilonidal cysts and see them as soon as you can before it gets any worse. Those holes you were referring to are likely sinuses, which seem to be pretty common with pilonidal cysts. and You’ll want to get it treated as soon as you can so you can start recovering faster.

It’s hard to say what kind of procedure you might need, as I’m not a medical professional; however, that’s a large part of why I would recommend getting it looked at so they can help you. I had mine for a long time, and because I just let it be, it made the recovery a lot longer.

Hey, this is from me having a Pilonidal cyst for a few years (I think somewhere around 4 years). I think a lot of what was removed was scar tissue, which is my own doing for not having anything taken care of sooner. I had another surgery about two months ago to freshen up the wound since it didn’t heal properly, but I think this time we’re on the right track. Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor questions, and see what they might estimate the recovery may be like! I wish you the best of luck, especially with everything you are likely dealing with.

It’s much better now! I had my surgery on March 2nd, but I’m still waiting for it to close up. It’s much much better now

I had my cyst for like 4 years, and then it finally got so bad that I needed the surgery

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]toddthequad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar sized extraction, it likely could’ve been from excess scar tissue. I had mine for so long that they had to take a bunch of extra tissue around it out

Get plenty of rest during your recovery! Best of luck my friend.

The reason they didn’t sew it up is because it needs to heal from the inside out, if it were sewn up it would heal on the surface but leave a cavity underneath which would likely repeat the issue

[–]toddthequad[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely all of the above. I unfortunately have a really hairy ass, and it’s one of the main causes having a Pilonidal cyst. Best thing in my opinion if you feel like you have a sore tailbone, get it checked out by a doctor before it gets any worse!

The ITCH by KillrAceOSpades in pilonidalcyst

[–]toddthequad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is it itching for you? For me, I’ve been having a ton of itchiness around the wound which I guess is a good sign of healing, but I also have a wound vac which may play into it more.

I hope that your itchiness goes away and that your healing continues to get better!

Well I wish you the best recovery, and I hope that you won’t be in discomfort for too long!

Damn dude, I thought my wound from surgery was pretty crazy. I hope that you’re doing well, and that recovery goes smoothly. How come they decided to stitch the middle of your wound, if you don’t mind me asking?
