Is this from a pilonidal cyst?

Its the sacrum (backside). A wound like this is usually the result of a person laying on a body part for too long a duration, causing the capillaries and underlying tissues to ulcerate.

Step one is to give the person a pain killer 30 minutes prior to removing the bandages, cleaning the wound and rebandaging the wound. Pain killers are a must.

@haileyalexis709 Yep, that is assumed. This video was meant to show NPWT. At the time this was what was available in terms of NPWT videos. Thansk for your comment

You're right. It can get pretty bad if the care givers are careless. There have been advances in NPWT. KCI's Vac is excellent, the Engenex System is too. Regardless of the system, attention must be paid to the periwound! I hope things worked out for you

People, the idea behind this video was to show NPWT. Not a pissing war over what product your prefer. The last time I checked NPWT (Negative Pressure.....is physics! Yes KCI was the first to utilize it and has patents ...yadda yadda yadda....but physics is physics. Regardless if you use foam, guaze or tissue paper, Negative Pressure is created from a suction and a seal! Its not created by a Brand. Negative Pressure is Negative Pressure. This is an old video, yet it still shows Negative Pressure

Good question. The surrounding skin looks that way, probably becauase of several factors. Exudate or excess fluid from the wound irritated the peri-wound or 'surrounding' skin. This patient may have been incontinent as well which caused skin irritation.
