Question

I had kshar sutra surgery for a pilonidal cyst back in August and the wound has healed but sometimes it gets painful and swollen. Is there any topical ointment that can help reduce the swelling?

Topical steroid ointments (like mometasone) may reduce swelling post-Kshar Sutra surgery;consult your surgeon before applying to the tract.
