Hey! I've suffered with these cysts for about a year now. Antibiotics after antibiotics never worked for me they just kept coming back. The doctors finally got me at the hospital and I'm finally having surgery in a month. But 2 days ago I got all the signs and I can feel it building up AGAIN. Will o still be able to have surgery and Can anyone give me some tips and let me know what surgery is like? Just to put my mind at rest! Thankyou!!

    Hello!

    I had surgery a couple of years ago and had infections leading up to it and was constantly on antibiotics, my surgeon wouldn't operate if it was infected.

    I have 3 scars one too close to the anus that's only about an inch then there's one on the tailbone that's about 3 inches then the last one goes alongside the others and further up my back about 6or 7 inches. When they operated I swear you could almost fit a can of coke in there lol. Now along the scar I've a tiny hole and it has puss coming out every day. Told the doc and they gave me more antibiotics. It's since got worse what does the doc suggest?? More antibiotics. I personally know that it's making tunnels inside but as it stands the doctor doesn't see it as being a problem. I work as a Health care assistant and it is rearly starting to affect my work
