Hello
Treatment includes antibiotic therapy and hot compress while In more severe cases, the cyst may need to be surgically excised (along with pilonidal sinus tracts). Post-surgical wound packing may be necessary, and packing typically must be replaced twice daily for 4 to 8 weeks. In some cases, two years may be required for complete granulation to occur. 
Surgeons can also excise the sinus and repair with a reconstructive flap technique, which is done under general anesthetic. This approach is mainly used for complicated or recurring pilonidal disease, leaves little scar tissue and flattens the region between the buttocks, reducing the risk of recurrence.

Pilonidal cysts recur and do so more frequently if the surgical wound is sutured in the midline, as opposed to away from the midline, which obliterates the natal cleft and removes the focus of shearing stress.
Any other treatment generally results in failure which may include any form of medical science.
Thanks

Welcome to healthcare magic.
A Pilonidal sinus (PNS) occurs in the cleavage between the buttocks (natal cleft) and can cause discomfort, embarrassment and absence from work. ayurveda has advocated a minimally invasive para-surgical treatment, viz., Kshar Sutra procedure, for pilonidal sinus. . Kshar Sutra treatment not only minimizes complications and recurrence but also enables the patient to resume work quicker and with less discomfort, impact upon body image and self-esteem as well as reduced cost.It's better to consult an ayurvedic surgeon nearby your place and take advice.if it is not possible for you contact me through mail .I can provide you further guidance for your problem.

Ksharsutra is only performed if the anal region is involed in it. so that it works for anal piles and fistualla.
however, You should have consult the ksharsutra physician nearby you and once visit needed for the best opinion.
