Swedish here! Feels like I'm the only one in my town who struggles with this, sounds awful but its kind of a relief knowing there are more people than just me suffering from this
Hey Natalie! I’m from Stockholm!
I made my profile here in 2008 when I was 21 and I had my first pilonidalcyst, I got a cleftlift(12cm scar) and healed fine was all good(part from always sitting on a 12cm quite thick scar, it does make you soar when sitting on hard surfaces especially outside) until 2014, then just cut n clean by a doctor and that also healed good(just 1cm scar), 2020 now and i got a new one in let’s say a bad spot, cut and clean(5cm scar) this one I will have to redo since not healed yet and I did not get antibiotics after the cut n clean even tho I asked for it since I could feel i needed it. I will now have to reopen to get EVERYTHING out since they could not manage to do it last time, also I’ve got a new one on the opposite side that hurts like a mofo and it’s deep so it won’t become a hole in it unless you cut it open. Life is a bitch for sure and I have not been able to sit down for over 6 months if not more. Feels like I’m the only one here aswell, as I’m older I’m not ashamed of this issue anymore and almost all my friends knows about it, I have 1 friend 45 years of age from Middle East who had the same issue otherwise no one has a clue what it is and now I know I’m quite alone with it
This forum did give me comfort bk in 2008
I guess it’s nice to talk to ppl who don’t scream cancer out of ignorance
What happend to you and your cyst? I hope you got rid of your problem!
