I have a pilonidal cyst, what do you recommend?

Initial treatment: Is local heat, antibiotics if necessary. It might come to surgical drainage. If it becomes a recurrent problem, you need to have definitive surgery. Be prepared for about two months before complete healing, depending on extent of cyst or abscess. Show it to a surgeon.

Surgery: You should have it excised since it will continue to grow if it is not removed.
