Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Frankly speaking there is no alternative to the pilonidal cyst than surgery.

But of course you can delay the surgery if you want to delay. You can do that by taking antibiotics. Your current treatment of antibiotics are fine you can continue it.

You can avoid the conditions that can give you more sweat. Long time seating can also be avoided. Wearing cotton clothing can absorb the sweat and makes you more comfortable with the complaints.

Please maintian good hygiene this can be helpful in curing the illness fast.

But the last treatment is the surgery.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
