Pit Picking 5 (5 of 8)
Treatment option #2. Simplest option. Cut on red line through all pits and across the abscess cavity. Scrub the lining clean. Keep the cleft clean and allow incision to heal. This will cure ~ 80% of cases and never produce large unhealed wounds.
If small part of wound fails to fails to close in 3-6 weeks, then cleft lift is a good option.
Avoid midline sutures or packing and wide excision!
