Hello
Did pilonidal surgery 2 yrs ago. Surgeon cut along side of cleft and closed wound but left a drain opening just at the end of the scar approximately 2cm above anus. Scar has healed but is constantly pink in colour and sometimes itchy. I spread infront of the fan to dry after every shower and then use a bit of petroleum jelly. Approx one week now, i assumed after "forcing", the scar became inflamed and hard over a couple days. I began feeling bit of an internal fever and the area was obviously sore and at times painful. On the fourth day i noticed a bit of blood/pus after wiping. Since then it drains a little now and then. Just under the skin on the right side of the stitch there is a yellow worm like swelling which i assume to be pus. Does the mean a recurrence of the cyst, a new one, fistula en ano??? Please advise. Options/ Surgery again/ Homoeotherapy etc
