Hi, Everyone....Cyndi....so glad is home but sorry to hear that his

cellulitis is still causing problems. I can understand your concern very

well............ Gareth still has the open wound on his butt from pilonidal

cyst surgery 2 yrs ago!!! They want to operate again (#13 for P cysts) and I

haven't given in because it's not infected and it doesn't hurt him. I will

keep both of you in my prayers.

Joan....glad you chimed in!!! How are you and Andy doing?

Take care, Everyone.

I got a pilonidal cyst on my HEAD from a mosquito biting me. When I went to the

doctor, that is what they told me it was (hard to believe). I have poked it

several times myself with a sterile pin, which made it smaller, but I refuse to

let them cut on my head or inject a needle to numb it (I needed no numbing, as I

felt nothing when I poked it.) Maybe I made the right choice, hearing all this?

Margaret, Thanks and under different circumstances I would be glad to be home

but I felt it was too soon. Of course we all sleep better in our own beds. Wow I

did not realize Gareth still had an open wound. I remember you talking about the

surgery. I felt so bad for Gareth. I have been taking to a wound care

specialist for over a year and not been able to get the wound to close. The

wound care specialist has given us self adhering wound care patches,silvadine

cream,etc. The strange thing about this is at one point had cellulitis on

his face but that wound totally healed. The surgeon was concerned that the one

on the face healed but the one on his head did not heal. HBOT had it all healed

until he got the cellulitis a month later on his face and transferred it to his

head. It is a shame the steps we have to go through to get unconventional

methods of healing paid for by insurance. When they operated Margaret what were

they trying to accomplish? like cleaning it out, stitching it up or were they

looking for something? Cyndi B

, Sorry to hear that about the cyst. A pilonidal cyst is a cyst at the

bottom of the tailbone. Are you talking about Trichilemmal they mainly occur on

the scalp or a epidermal (sebaceous) cyst? The sebaceous cyst contains a

whitish cheese-like substance.Be careful using a pin cause you can cause

yourself to get cellulitis or a staph infection from doing that. had

cellulitis from a possible bug on the top of his head in 2007. The cellulitis

dropped down in his face and caused his eyes to turn black and blue and swell

shut despite antibiotics. Under Burns photos there are pictures of

starting the cellulitis and what it looked like after just 3 days. I had a

mosquito bite me and cause me to get impetigo (staph) infection. I hate

mosquitos. Be careful. Thanks again for inquiring about . Cyndi B

I know where they traditionally are, but this dermatologist told me this was a

pilonidal cyst!!! No wonder the PCP looked at me odd when I said that! That is

what the dermatologist said and he said he would have to inject lidocaine, cut

it open , and suture it back together, It is on my head. i am a nurse, so I

thought his terminology was strange. (Most of the doctors in Toccoa are quacks

anyway, and that is one main reason I would not let him cut on my head!!!)

HA! Maybe he was trying to say that my head was up my a** from saying it came

from a mosquito bite!!!! Well, it did!!! I know because I screamed Ouch and

slapped my head (I know sounds funny) and on my hand was a dead mosquito. It

used to be the size of a dime. Now, it is the size of a pencil eraser. I think

it warrants a second opinion!
