I have pilonidal sinus. how can i treat it hurbally and without a doctor or surgery? i am also an md but don't want any surgery.

Pilonidal Sinus: Unfortunately, the only way to completely remove a pilonidal sinus is by having surgery. Without surgery to remove it, the pilonidal cyst and sinus carry a risk of repeated infections and abscess formation.
