My husband has a pilonidal cyst on his tailbone that started as a pimple with pus and blood. It healed but came back a week later, now it's inflamed but no pus. We want to avoid surgery can homeopathy help treat this?

Homeopathy has limited evidence; surgery is curative‚Äîchronic pilonidal sinus may need excision if recurrent.

Had laparoscopy for gallstones about six weeks ago but still feel a slight pain in one of the incisions, especially when touched or if my shirt rubs against it. The incision is small, around 0.5x0.3 cm on the right side. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

It's common to experience some mild pain or tenderness around incision sites after gallbladder surgery, even six weeks post-op. This is likely due to the healing process and the body adjusting to the surgery. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's important to consult a doctor.
