Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had 3 pilonidal cysts previously, one lanced and packed by a doctor. The last one burst on its own and leaked a foul-smelling discharge for quite some time (wore panty liners). There seems to be an indentation or hole and there is odor, clear discharge and itching. What can I do?
A pilonidal cyst with infection needs to be debride with surgery and then antibiotics support for few days. Please discuss this with your doctor.It will heal in 7 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Loveleen Sharma, General & Family Physician
