I have been having a minor bump on the cleft between by buttocks . In place of a bump, you could probably term it as a minor inflammation. At times it is kind of painful. It has a good chance of aggravating if I sit down at my desk at office for a long time and do not move around. I did a lot of google search and infer that it could be a case of mild form of pilonidal cyst . But whether it is such a kind of a cyst or not, I would like to know if there is a way to alleviate the pain when occurs again and again. Also is there a more permanent solution to this? By the way, I do have recurrent cases of hydradinitis suppurutiva on both my armpits which I treat by using dermatologist-prescribed hibiclens solution and a mix of aczone gel and clidamycin lotion. Nevertheless, the HS would keep recurring. But I have learnt to live with this part now. I am more concerned about the pilonidal cyst. I hope we could deal with this without having to go for a surgery as I do not have the money for it nor time. In the interim time, I intend to give warm compresses for the pilonidal cyst. Any ideas on how to tackle my situaiton?
