Pilonidal Sinus
4 Answers
A week ago my daughter had a small op to remove a pilonidal sinus. The wound has been stitched and she is wondering how long it should take to heal and when she will be able to return to work. Has anyone else had any problems with this? A year ago she had it drained and had to have a couple of months off work but after having a few infections they decided to cut it out this time. Any advice would be appreciated.

Best wishes to your daughter, it's a nasty and embarrasing thing to deal with (but it's OK in the end!).
