I have been packing my sons pilonidal cyst wound for 11 days, twice a day. We have gotten to the point where the cyst opening is so small I can barely put gauze in there. Currently there is no drainage, redness, or smell is this normal? I understand that it needs to heal from the inside out, but is it normal to have it so difficult to pack?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Consult your doctor for specific advice on your son's pilonidal cyst wound. Reduced drainage, redness, and smell may indicate healing, still monitoring is required. Difficulty in packing as the wound shrinks is normal. If you have any concerns or or see signs of infection consult your doctor quickly. Follow their instructions for proper care.

I'm on hrt and escitalopram. Just wondering can I take tumeric with black pepper for joint pain

Female | 46

Yes, you may use turmeric and black pepper for joint pain. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and black pepper improves the bioavailability of turmeric. The combination of this with HRT or escitalopram does not appear to be dangerous. But, like any new supplement or medication it is important to discuss with your doctor before including this in your regimen.

Whenever you have your blood work done, it is essential to get it reviewed by your doctor. I recommend a trip to the hematologist, who is an expert in all diseases related to blood.
