Guest guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hi guys, I just found out Fri. my son has a Pilonidal cyst. Good grief it is one thing after another for us here. Dr says he absolutely has to have surgery - it is pretty bad. He has him on Bactrim right now until we can get into a surgeon. He first complained of this last summer but we thought it was just a boil so we treated it as such. We took him to the Dr clear back in Oct. and the Dr said it looked like it was healing and did not seem concerned. He has had several 'flare ups' which I now know is normal. This thing is really gross and he also a big hole which is referred to as a 'sinus'. I am scared to death for my child to have this surgery - everything I have read says extremely painful. Anyone here ever dealt with anything like this? http://www.pilonidal.org Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
