You’re Not Alone: Join the Community
Real support from real people.
No one ever expects to have to join a club, especially a Pilonidal community. But here you are! The forums of this organization have been active for 25 years now and attract a global audience. Patients, parents, doctors and medical professionals all end up here sooner or later.
Discussion Forums
The gang is all here, ready to help and provide the support you need as you make your journey from discovery to fully healed. We have forums for both patients and doctors.
Personal Stories
Stories are our shared legacy and bring us together. Add your Pilonidal story to the community to help the next patient who needs support.
Pilonidal Humor
Having an abscess on your butt shouldn’t be funny, but it can be. Entertain yourself for a little bit with the wit from our forums.
Add Yourself to the Map!
Join the Global Pilonidal Community and add your name and pin to our world map. Show others they’re not alone. Remember how alone you felt at first and that no one could possibly understand how awful it was having this painful, festering lump on your tailbone.
