I'm not going to direct link.

Warning possibly NSFL

http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/2ga3o2/my_cousin_had_a_cyst_removed_above_his_butt_looks/

How can an open wound like that just stay like that for weeks? I can't even imagine the pain that person will be in (then again they had pain with the cyst too).

One of my greatest fears Is getting one of those fuckers.

He shoulda have kept the cyst.

Notorious_Roy · Sep 13, 2014

Why do I click on these threads AND click on the source, despite all the warnings?

I DON'T KNOW. Help me.

All the way down to the coccyx! Wow!

Rembrandt · Sep 13, 2014

shit, I didn't think it would be that bad but goddamn, that's horrible. how does that even happen?

Hero_of_the_Day · Sep 13, 2014

That is fucking crazy. Seriously, what do they do for something like that? Fill it with something, or just a big bandage?

EightBitNate · Sep 13, 2014

Half cheese, half salsa and have a nacho party probably. It's what I'd do.

YesNOnoNOYes · Sep 13, 2014

It's fascinating and terrifying at the same time. Like Thanos.

Zukuu · Sep 13, 2014

How can it even become that huge? What happens if you just let it stay? Can't be worse than having a bowling ball big hole above your ass in your back.

That's what is mindblowing to me. It goes all the way to the bone.

7threst · Sep 13, 2014

Jezus... how is that possible?

Also, I wonder if they asked the doctor to take that picture...

GoldenEye 007 · Sep 13, 2014

Doesn't look healthy at all.

They can be incredibly painful.

I went on a 5 day water fast to shrink the size of mine, before having it cut out, shrank the size significantly, 70-80% so I only had a couple stitches.

kirblar · Sep 13, 2014

Oh, was this a pilonidal one? F those things.

Dash_ · Sep 13, 2014

Oh God. Why did I look.

Sibersk Esto · Sep 13, 2014

Apparently all they can do is leave it open like that, wrap, and clean it regularly.

Zippedpinhead · Sep 13, 2014

And I thought I had I bad when i got a cyst removed earlier this week. That is insane! I am thanking my lucky stars that my cyst wasn't that big.

What is "pilonidal?" I'm not going to google it (ty OP for no pics)

They're nasty things that develop at the top of the asscrack/base of the spinal column. Don't google. One of the posts has a good explanation on reddit.

Ah yes... The ol' pilonidal to the sacrum. One of our favorite gags at the hospital.

That aside, these are caused by incomplete developmental closure of the neural tube. Early on as just a bundle of several cells, the ones that will make the brain and spine bud outward from the rest in two ridges that meet, forming a hollow tube of cells. The end of this tube closes at the brain side first and makes it's way down to the sacral side. When the tube doesn't completely close at the correct time, skin tissue develops at the base of the spinal column. Most often hair follicles produce hair within this skin extension that eventually become infected after a few years.

It's not uncommon for us to remove hairballs several cm in diameter.

Professor Lich · Sep 13, 2014

That's like an ass bowl!

Hope they have a safe and speedy recovery. Can't even imagine how that must feel.

bloodforge · Sep 13, 2014

Why did I look at that. Why.

BolognaSoup · Sep 13, 2014

Looks a lot like a stage 4 pressure ulcer.

MacNille · Sep 13, 2014

That is what I call butthurt.

Azulsky · Sep 13, 2014

Yeah pilonidal cysts suck. Had 2. Did not require surgery but they dont go away.

Rawket Lawnchair · Sep 13, 2014

I had one 9 years ago, right at the upper juncture of my buttcheeks, but nowhere near this big or deep. After the surgery, I couldn't sit for a couple of weeks, and it took about 40 days to heal completely. Nowadays it's just a small incision, like I had stitches.

I feel sorry for the person.

But do you want to lose your virginity

Grizzo · Sep 13, 2014

Real talk: I just put down my phone in shock after clicking the link, and my phone crashed and just did a reboot itself, as if it was shocked too. I'm fine now, just needed a few seconds to really grasp the intensity of the picture.

Is there a stage 5?

Metroidvania · Sep 13, 2014

That's way fucking bigger than any other one I've seen linked.

Holy shit.
