Scared about pilondial cyst!

Hi. I am 40 year old female. I've been dealing with cysts on my buttox, tailbone for several years. I've had the same place, cut n drained. I had surgery the beginning of 2017 and 3 weeks later, it came back. I've been dodging another surgery because, I've read some stories that people have had 12 surgeries n they still come back. You're much uber than me. You'll be fine. You get to go home the same day. Remember to keep the area very clean and keep shaved. Hair is a big factor with cysts. Don't be scared. Say a prayer.. but, also tell your parents to go to Walgreens and buy you some cyst drawing salve named PRID. It's in a small orange container. You rub it on everyday and it will burst your cysts. Doctors don't want you to use it because it actually works. This is what I've been using for over a year to keep from having surgery. I pray everything goes good. Keep me informed please.

Recovery is different for everyone. It's a outpatient where you won't have to stay in hospital overnight. You will have to soak in a sitz bath, where you sit in warm water and Epsom salt several times a day. It's important to keep area very clean. Your doctor will pack the area he cut you with cotton like material and it'll come out as you heal. It does itch a lit, which is a sign of it. healing.

         Don’t be scared of Pilonidal Sinus. Its not a disease but a condition that usually occurs due to damaged hair follicles. In your case, perhaps, the skate board accident damaged part of the skin and the hair follicles? Are you going for a sinus drain or for a complete sinus tract removal ? if its a sinus tract removal, For your age, the recovery should be pretty fast - again it would also depend  on how your surgeon wants the wound to be healed. Some Surgeons prefer to keep the wound open and get it dressed daily ( you would probably be on antibiotics to fight against any infection - atleast during the initial stages )  - this takes from 4 weeks to 12 weeks to heal ( varies from person to person ) and some others stitch it the wound out  - heals real quick ( in 3-5 days ). Yes there would be a scar but that should fade out eventually. Pray that it never comes back again - personal hygiene and keeping the area hair free can help. I had a surgery done in 2005 and it reoccured in 2017, that doesn’t mean it will reoccur for you. Be strong and positive. Hope the surgery goes well and you are all well soon.
