I have previous condition of piles and I am consulting doctor. I suspect I have a pilonidal cyst. Can this cyst be treated by medicines?

Question

Dear user, a pilonidal sinus has to be surgically treated. Medicines will not help as much. For a confirmation a few tests will have to be done to trace the sinus tract. You can consult me for more doubts regarding this online by clicking on my photo and booking an appointment however, if you found my answer helpful, please leave a positive feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.
