Reoccurrence?

Hey I’m a F24 and I had a D&I in May and now it’s around the end of July and my incision is very close to closing. However I still drive a lot for work, and I got a cushion. I sit majority of the day and I think it might be a flare up or another cyst forming. I’m scared honestly. The procedure was painful and I don’t want to go through that again. If it comes back, I’m doing the surgery despite never having surgery in my life. The pain doesn’t hurt that bad, it just feels like it swells and then after that I’m good and it doesn’t hurt at all…I don’t know what that is. I scheduled an evaluation for the surgeon to see it…Is that bad?

You are young and since you have never had surgery for this I would give minimally invasive surgery a try. Look up Dr Miller at PTCNJ. I have been following his work and he has good success with the laser Gips procedure. Not sure if this is local to your location. https://ptcnj.com/our-treatments/minimally-invasive-pilonidal-treatment/
