New to the forums and i'm guessing this is
the best place to start. Trying to get a
little advice here before consulting other
people.. Something about online.. Takes
away the embarrassment..
Over the last 2 weeks i've had this spot
in well.. No clue what to call it.. My
bumcrack.. I did some research around
other places and it seems like it's a
pilonidal sinus/absess.. I'm not sure if
I should contact a doctor about this one
or not.. I know it's not infected and
infact, the spot is quite small
considering. It has gotten better over
the last week or so and looks like it's
starting to heal up.
My real question here is... Is there
anything I should really be worried about?

I've never heard of such thing, but if it
hurts or itches, i'd say you should go to
a doctor or somethin, but if it doesn't
bother you. I'd be less worried about it.
But still keep an eye on it to make sure
it doesn't get worse or anything.

I've done some reasearch but the one thing
I keep wanting to know is if there is
anything to do about it since it's not
infected... I'm keeping it clean and
putting bandages over it and
neosporin...
I just see "surgery surgery." scaring the
crap out of me.

"for the acute abscess that presents
early, with pain that is tolerable and no
evidence of cellulitis, broad spectrum
antibiotics and depilation alone may be
sufficient to resolve the immediate
problem."
actually I have heard of this problem
before. But I forgot what the solution
was given for it.

Well... That's exactly what I have..
Doc said it was a very small case. I'm on
anti-biotics and i'll be in surgery next
week. The entire thing is only about the
size of the tip of my index finger.. And
it's not that deep so go me.
