Hi all. So I have unknowingly suffered from this for years on and off. I’ve never LOOKED at it somehow (I’m a whole grown lady at this point) and just realized what it is. I remember being 14 and sitting in the tub thinking how bad it hurt to sit down, and it’s been a reoccurring experience for the last 10+ years. This time I decided to look bc someone mentioned it could be a pilonidal cyst so I ofc google. It’s never stopped me from normal life, I just grit and bare my teeth and carry on til it resolves. This time, being that I’m more informed, I’d like to know if there’s anything yall recommend for one like this at home? I can sit, walk, ride horses, and work without a second thought. Just hurts to the touch. Like a 2/10 maybe. This subreddit has scared me crapless and now I’m afraid I need surgery 🥲 thank you all for any advice!
