I will never understand why people knowingly enter reddit threads to thread shit on them for being reddit threads. I know this sounds nuts, but how about ignoring them?
Who cares where it comes from, especially something like pilonidal cysts, where being informed can help save you months of healing and torment.

Too big to be "believable," would have been plenty more disgusting if video or smaller hole in ass. Thats big enough to be fisted without lube 
I haven't seen anything informative. This seems more like a "look at this gross photo!" clickbait thread.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Indeed, dat bone.
Just a tip, don't google this. I need the eyewash now.
It's thought to occur when loose hairs dig into your skin. Your body reacts and forms a cyst around it. It can get infected etc.
Risk factors are obesity, sedentary life style, sitting all day, lots of hair, poor hygiene.
They are basically caused by a birth defect though irritating the area and ingrown hairs are plausible. The defect seems to be agitated by sitting on your sacrum(slouching). More common among people who sit all day.
I had a consult done about removal of mine and the surgeon said there are 2 schools of thought but he always closes them.

Yeah looks like it. I agree, fuck those things. I've had one for 15 years. Had surgery 4 times. Fucker still won't go away.

Well this was an educational experience for me.
It heals from the bottom up, slowly filling in over the course of 6-8 weeks, and often leaving a giant scar.
The worst part is packing it constantly.

I had one of those fuckers myself 2 years ago. Luckily it was much smaller, so they were able to pull some skin over it, making it a much less gruesome picture. It still hurt like all hell - nowhere near as bad as it was before having it cut away, though. I wasn't even able to sit or lie on my back then.
The reason why these form isn't known, and to make things worse, if you had the precedent of having one, it's very likely you'll get them again at some point.
At least it desensitized my embarrassment of being naked around other people.
They do. There's nothing else they can do. It takes months to heal that hole

The size isn't determined by how long he had the cyst. It's just luck. If it was anyway like mine, his developed over 2-3 days really suddenly.
I'M DOING IT
Edit - That's not that bad. Just looks like a typical giant wound really. I'm used to medical pictures though. Not all of them but most. It's the really fucked up shit that gets me.
I'm with you. I'm enjoying my day and not about to pollute my mind by clicking that link.

correct about everything
exactly what part of his body that is? the reddit link says it's above his ass, but my mind can't comprehend where exactly it is. are those his legs at the bottom of the pic?
You know that feeling when you take a really big dump? Awesome
Nailed it.

Pretty sure I have a small cyst under my armpit. Seeing that picture sort of makes me think I should see a doctor soon.
