I think currently I only have mostly bad luck in my life. ugh....
I had a pilonidal cyst, and found out that is what it was yesterday when I went to my Dr. because I could barely sit she cut it open and got rid of it and the pus etc. hurt pretty bad yesterday but much better today! Either way no fun! I won't go into more detail because I'm sure if you look up what a pilonidal cyst is you'll figure out enough

Interestingly enough, I know of someone else who just had that and went through the same thing. Their doctor apparently said there is always a chance it can continually come back and that if that was the case then they'd have to look at having surgery. Hope that's the end of it for both of you!
I had one of those this spring!! They hurt so MUCH!!
I had three days of severe pain at the top of my tailbone, so bad that when I got home, I would just lie on my stomach. I finally went to the doctor and it had apparently created it's own little exit and drained itself. H made fun of me for being "obsessed" for about a month afterward because I was so worried it would come back, I felt like I was gross for having these two teeny little holes in my skin. The surgeon I had seen said that mine occurred due to my anatomy and having REALLY curvy buttocks, so that where they round together and touch, they actually leave a little triangle shape below that touching part in the "crack" that's just air where the majority of people have the buttocks touch all the way down. He said it was probably caused by a combo of my anatomy, my night sweats making my skin swell (yes, I would get pruney from night sweats) and then all it would take was a little hair or something to puncture that pruney skin so that an infection could start.
Just remember, it's NOT due to being gross or poor hygiene!
