Hi James! Dr. Christopher and Dr. Schulze BOTH would recommend drinking PLENTY of Red Clover (preferably FRESH) Tea and also making a Red Clover Fomentation to place over the the Area of the Cyst. Red Clover has been used by MOST Herbalists, like myself, and the Native Americans for ABNORMAL Growths.

hello. I live in Hayward California . my name is brandon .

I just had a cyst removed from the same area as your wife. It was just above my crack, and right on the bottom of my back. ( the tail bone ) . I had it for about 3 months. I'm 19 years old , and I thought it was just a bad sick zit from hell or something like that. But after visting my doctor for some time she told me that it was a pilonidal cyst. Those things have to be removed.Anyone can get them , they are not from being dirty or anything like that. I came apon your posting because just yesterday I had it removed and i was searching the web for info trying to get pictures to show my mom and dad what it looked like when they took it out. All i know is that they will not go away and i'm sorry to say but they do only get worst. You can help it in the mean time , by just taking hot showers cleaning the area very well, and by washing it with a damp towl afterward with some rubbing alcohol or something like that. I personaly put a patch of goss on it with some anti germ cream . Don't worry though, getting it removed is not a big deal. I think i had the biggest cyst in the world. All they do is just num it , and take it out. My doctor sowed mine up because it was about 1 1/2 inchs in me, and 2 inchs in diameter. It's really not that bad. Good luck with your quest in getting rid of that painful thing. If you want to get in touch with me email me at yadpok@excite.com .
