A pit near the top of the buttocks crease.
Pain.
Inflamed, swollen skin.
Pus or blood leaking from an opening in the skin.
An odor from draining pus
Treatments for an infected pilonidal sinus- Treatment for an infected pilonidal sinus will depend on:
Your symptoms
The size of the sinus
Whether it's your first sinus or it keeps coming back
Depending on the severity of the symptoms, people might or might not require surgery to remove the pilonidal cyst. There are many other treatments available
Draining the cyst - this procedure can be done at the doctor’s office. A tiny cut is made to open and drain the fluid from the infected cyst.
Injections - injections might cure mild to moderate pilonidal cysts.
Antibiotics- antibiotics can cure skin inflammation. However, antibiotics cannot cure pilonidal cysts on their own.
Laser Therapy - Laser therapy can remove hair that otherwise can become ingrown, resulting in pilonidal cysts.
Surgery - If people have recurrent pilonidal sinuses or more than one sinus tract, the doctor can advise surgery. Initially, local anaesthesia will be administered to the patient. The surgeon then opens the lesions, draining all the pus and debris. Once this procedure is complete, your surgeon will close the wound with stitches. After the surgery is completed, the doctor will explain the method to change the dressings and advise shaving the site to prevent hair growth into the wound.
While pilonidal cysts are not dangerous, they can become difficult to treat and convert into a chronic condition when people do not seek help quickly, which is why people need to undergo a physical exam at the first sign of any symptoms of a pilonidal cyst.
