About

The management of pilonidal cysts is a skin excision and under deep skin. Scarring requires regular dressings (daily for 15 days and then every 48 hours) until complete healing. This healing is obtained on average in 68 days. Some patients have difficulties in healing with a final healing achieved on average in 95 days. Some teams use honey to promote wound cavitary wounds (wound infection, pressure ulcers, varicose wound). The acceleration of wound healing is due to antibacterial properties and hyperosmolarity to reduce secretions. ) The use of honey in pilonidal cysts is not evaluated and may accelerate healing.
