Our Community

You don’t have to go it alone with Pilonidal Disease! There are hundreds of other patients going through the same thing you are right now, and thousands more who’ve already been there and stick around to help. It’s easy to feel like you’re the ONLY one with this awful cyst on your butt, but you aren’t.

Not only does this website provide comprehensive information on the disease, we also host the largest community of patients suffering from Pilonidal Disease. Join our forums, read the stories of other patients, add yourself to our map, then stop by the humor page for a little chuckle.

Forums for patients and doctors

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.

Pilonidal Stories

Stories are our shared legacy and bring us together. Add your story 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.

GDPR Agreement

I agree for my personal data to be processed by Pilonidal Support Alliance, for the purpose(s) of displaying map tiles, geocoding addresses and calculating and display directions..

I agree for my personal data, provided via map API calls, to be processed by the API provider, for the purposes of geocoding (converting addresses to coordinates), reverse geocoding and generating directions.

Some visual components of WP Google Maps use 3rd party libraries which are loaded over the network. At present the libraries are Google Maps, Open Street Map, jQuery DataTables and FontAwesome. When loading resources over a network, the 3rd party server will receive your IP address and User Agent string amongst other details. Please refer to the Privacy Policy of the respective libraries for details on how they use data and the process to exercise your rights under the GDPR regulations.

WP Google Maps uses jQuery DataTables to display sortable, searchable tables, such as that seen in the Advanced Marker Listing and on the Map Edit Page. jQuery DataTables in certain circumstances uses a cookie to save and later recall the "state" of a given table - that is, the search term, sort column and order and current page. This data is held in local storage and retained until this is cleared manually. No libraries used by WP Google Maps transmit this information.

Please see here and here for Google's terms. Please also see Google's Privacy Policy. We do not send the API provider any personally identifying information, or information that could uniquely identify your device.

Where this notice is displayed in place of a map, agreeing to this notice will store a cookie recording your agreement so you are not prompted again.
