My Pilonidal Cyst surgery

Update: what I have since 2005 is a kind of infection. basically, it's a boil or a furuncule that is space of two days grows and drains out with pus. After that it dries out and heals. sometimes I spend 3 to 4 months without a problem, and sometimes every two weeks or so. In my opinion the cause of this thing is a shaving wound that got infected or the result of some ingrown hair. I had 3 surgeries so far, and then I saw a dermatologist who gave me a special antibiotic: Minosil for 3 months. In the first two months I thought the medicine is working, and then 2 days before I finish treatment, the thing came back again. I still have another option to try with the dermatologist. According to the GP that I saw this week, he said that my case is a bit extreme. He said usually surgery is enough, it it does not work, Antibiotics comes next, and hte last solution according to him will be some kind of anti tuberculosis drugs. Again, this is what my GP said. I will have my next appointment with the dermatologist soon, and will see what he suggests. I will keep updating everyone.

Hi, sorry for the late answer. I paid nothing for I went to government hospital but the waiting times are long. Today i have been to see dermatologist. She suggested extraction. She said the three previous surgeries were only incisions

Hi everyone, I made a visit to the dermatologist in september, she gave Menosil capsules, i believe it's an anti biotic for skin problem. I have to take these capsules once daily for three months, and then I will have to see the dermatologists again in January. I have the impression that this medicine is working although the pharmacist said that I should not expect improvement till after the end of treatment i.e. 3 months.

the surgery itself did not fix it so far. It keeps coming every now and then. It usually blast in 1 or two days. So far I had 3 surgeries on it. My surgeon advised me to see a dermatologist, he also said there is a anti-biotic for stomach problems, that I might try, although the cyst has nothing to do with stomach issue, but the medicine may help. My appointment with the dermatologist is due by the end of September 2011.

i have 3 holes in my back and my gf tried to drain it and some clear stuff came out the highest hole i dont want to go 4 the surgery cus it looks really painfull is there anyway to make it go a way

[FouadIE]

you should ask your doctor for it, in my opinion, you should take it off by surgery, because it keeps coming on and on. surgery will remove the root of the cyst. I will have my surgery soon, probably by march. surgeon said i will go out of hospital same day. I hope everything will be fine for everyone !

@AldrinTadz Yeah.. Me too.. Before, I had severe acne both in my face and in my chest.. Ive been to countless dermatologist treatments and I still found it very frustrating because none of it worked.. Until my friend recommended me this acne solution site StopAcneNow.co.cc and the program did an amazing job showing me the right way to completely remove the cystic acne around me.. And in less than a month, it did worked!

@crazybonez5 my son has this. his was found dec 2008 since that time he has had 8-9 surgeries and the dumb thing will not heal fully. i would see a d plastic surgeon or a rectal/colon surgeon, they seem to be the most help. if you see a a plastic surgeon he might be able to close or start the healing process with a chemical burn to the tissue. you don't feel a thing and no surgery

[crazybonez5]

i have this on my ass. it popped. pus and blood came out a little hole above my ass hole. i don't have a big hole like that... do i still need surgery if it popped? or do i let it heal by it's self? only people who had it please answer. no dumb answers cause i don't know what to do... my doctor's a creep and i don't want to show him my ass..

[MsKnowItAll1993]

I had this done about 6 months ago. Its not that BAD! You will be glad that you had the surgery because it will be a relief. I got 5 stitches and they were taken out 2 weeks later. I still go back for annual check ups but everything is all healed! Dont be scared because yet again...Its not that bad!
