Not very reliably: while local care and antibiotics can be used. That just never works and they recur. Total removal and stitching up the surrounding tissue so there's nothing left is the only really reliable way to keep them from recurring.

Possibly: it depends on whether or not it is infected.If it is infected, then surgery is usually the treatment of choice.If it is a small sinus, then there is a new treatment using fibrin glue to seal the sinus (however the underlying tissue needs to be scraped out under anesthesia before gluing the tissue together). If there is a bad infection, recurrent infections etc, then surgery may be your best option
