Hi practo user , Pilonidal sinus needs proper evaluation and excision of the entire tract and cover with a local flap so that the chances of recurrence is low.. Kindly get in touch with a plastic surgeon or a general surgeon to examine and evaluate your concerns about pilonidal sinus and give you a needed treatment Hope this helps

This confirm occurs due to hair getting stuck under the skin. And surgery is required to remove the entire sinus tract. Else it keeps occurring.
Next Steps
Consider surgery

LASER Is good but not always. Need to have a physical examination. Dont worry abt the open surgery. Open surgery is also good.

Pilonidal sinus is very recurring problem. The cyst burst pus drains and if not treated the cycle recurs. You have to visit a surgeon to solve it. Even surgery has some chances of recurrence,  more so with laser.
Next Steps
consult your Surgeon
