Lancing (Incision and drainage)

[lanceroe]

Hello Pilonothanks,

How is your recovery going this week from your lancing and drainage. I feel like i may feel a little better, but there is still an uncomfortable feeling when i sit or at least doesn't feel normal and here and there some twinges and feelings that make me feel its not healing properly. I am working with my primary care to find a second and third opinion on an excision or hopefully a cleft lift procedure. Not sure if anyone performs the cleft lift in my area sadly though...

Hope you're doing well!

I am currently going through kind of the same thing, or at least as you did the first time around. I got my I&D 3 months ago and it still hasn't healed. I don't know what's wrong. I still have to do the daily dressings, and I'm worried that it will never heal.

I know someone who got pit picking done, and that was minimally invasive, and they're back to a non-pilonidal life now though.
