From what I have read, it goes away but it can recur. So, it's kind of like if you get cold sores. Once you get one, they go away but it means you might get them again in your life.

Also, from what I read it's caused by a hereditary congenital defect in the skin of the lower spine. Therefor, it has nothing to do with hygiene. It then develops when you sit on your rear too much. Hence, sitting in class and then at a computer and then on the couch for some tv, then at the dinner table for food.

Also, it is more common in men, but females can get it. And it is most common for people between 15-24 to develop this.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. If you want embarrassing, I have a hemorrhoid. <.< Not exactly something I love to spread around, but just saying....there are plenty of "embarrassing" things out there. Most people would understand it's not your fault. Sooooo. Just try to not sit as much. Be more active. If you will be sitting for a long time or in a car even, be sure you are cushioned. Irritation while sitting is generally what causes the cysts to flare up.
