I have a sacral dimple abscess that is draining puss and deep red fluid. i am on bactrin, dr. said it will resolve on it's own. is this right?

Pilonidal sinus: Sounds like you have a pilonidal sinus that has been chronically infected and and has granulation tissue within. It is unlikely that it will respond to oral anitbiotics and resolve.
