Hi ,
For a chronic pilonidal sinus best is to undergo sinogram and get the whole sinus removed followed by cover of this excised area with a rhomboid flap to get it healed faster than to let it heal by secondary intentions…
Consult a plastic or a general surgeon for the same
Hope this helps

Flap will be better option. Simple excision has recurrence rate
