Pete’s story

October 19, 2011

I am a 24 year old male and my cyst first appeared over a year ago but was only diagnosed in february after it spontaneously drained while at the bar with my friends! I was then on antibiotics on and off for the last six months and only now have I been recommended for surgery.

Now, from looking through this site and the information the doctors have given me, I am really starting to worry as I live alone and won’t have anyone to change my dressings for me.
