Sandy- My son and daughter both had pilonidal cysts. My daughter had the surgery when she had recurrent problems, and her main complaint is that the figure-8 scar pulls some when stretching. My son didn't have surgery until his was in a very bad state of inflammation and had a lot of trouble with it, as the surgery couldn't be done until the inflammation had gone down. He still have some problems with soreness as he sits at a desk a lot to work.
There is actually a sinus open to the surface behind the anus and going up to the tailbone/end of the spinal column, and unless some herbal treatment or the castor oil could cause the filling in of tissue in this sinus, I can't see much that could be done. It is not a simple sebaceous cyst. It can even have hair growth in it. Perhaps flushing it out frequently could prevent infection or inflammation. The opening can be very small, though, like a pinhole. Sorry I can't give you some encouraging words. Nancy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2004 00:12:42 -0800 (PST) From: "Sandy . Green" <[email protected]> My 28 year old daughter has a recurrent pilonidal cyst. Sometimes it stays beneath the surface and often times, it oozes. It has been suggested that she have the surgery to clean it out. It's a nasty little operation which I do not encourage her to have. It is also my understanding that it comes back. I'd like to know if anyone has suggestions on how to deal with this. 'would DMSO together with CS be workable on this? Sandy -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
