Pilonidal Sinus

Hello!

I just got diagnosed today with a pilonidal sinus. I do NOT currently have a cyst- thankfully! There is no pain, just a very, very small amount of blood that has been leaking out of it, which is right below where the butt cheeks separate. I've done some research and do NOT under any circumstances want to get surgery, and I know I do not have to. I'm just having trouble knowing with natural route to take to make sure this does not get any worse, and hopefully close up the sinus if that is possible. I was reading another forum about pilonidal and saw you list these questions to answer, so here are my answers!

17. How do you feel?
Anxious because of the research I've done, I just want to treat this naturally and effectively
18. How does this affect you?
It just worries me because I've also had chronic back problems for some years, but that issue is finally getting better. Now this pilonidal sinus popped up and the western doctor told me I would have it for the rest of my life.

19. How does it feel like?
Anxious, but hopeful
20. What comes to your mind?
Wondering if the western doctor was correct in saying I'll have this for the rest of my life.
21. One situation that had a big effect on you?
Moving to Colorado from Minnesota recently

22. How did that feel like?
Very good, but I moved with my partner who I am now trying to leave, so that is causing some stress
23. What sensation do you experience in that situation?
Exhilaration, curiosity

24. What are you showing by that gesture of your hand (Habits or Actions)?
Not sure what this means

25. Current and previous remedies/medicines you are taking or took in the past?
Nothing yet, just trying to stand and walk a little more since I heard sitting for so long is not good for it. I don't have an infection so they didn't give me medicine. In the past I've take Percocet pain pills for my back, but have not taken any in quite a while.

26. Family Background
Mother is an alcoholic with tons of health issues. She's had multiple surgeries but never seems to quite get better. She works in a group home helping mentally handicapped people. She has a good heart, but grew up in a bad situation. My father is a very nice man, though very unemotional at times. He is a software engineer, has asthma, and possibly Churgs Strauss Syndrome.

BA in English Literature and Creative Writing

28. Nature of work, what do you do for living?
Office Administrator at a toy shop, and I have a hula hoop business where I teach, perform, and make and sell hoops.

29. Desires, likes and dislikes for food.
Love most vegetables. I desire potato chips a lot. I don't like olives. I desire spicy food often, and I usually like eating cooked food versus cold food. I crave salty, crunchy food a lot as well.

30. Name of foods which increase your problem.
Not sure

31. Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient…and so on.. How are you different from other persons, public speaking or not , you can describe all of the details about your behavior, love and affections.
I am very positive most of the time, I usually only get angry when I'm stuck in traffic, I meditate frequently, sometimes I'm in a hurry, but I try to take my time and be conscious about it. Public speaking makes me nervous, but I am improving that characteristic in myself. I'm in the middle of taking some deep and powerful changes in my life to better myself. I am breaking up with my partner like I said before, so that's stressful. But I'm very excited for the future and most days I love life and the adventures it holds.
32. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases)
More unhappy in the winter, but mainly because there was no sun in the winter in Minnesota. Now that I'm in Colorado, it will be sunny most of the winter, so I think I'll be better. I thrive in warm, but dry climates. I love being outside and being comfortable. I hate humidity unless I'm near a body of water.
33. Attached here your photographs of the affected area. (if required/optional)

34. Location of the disease
About an inch below where the but cheeks separate.

Redish/pinkish, then pinkish/tanish
