Overview
The mainstay of therapy for a pilonidal cyst is antimicrobial therapy.
Medical therapy
Treatment for a pilonidal cyst usually begins when the patient goes to the doctor because of pain. It is treated as an infection, and a doctor might prescribe antibiotics as well as hot compresses and the application of depilatory creams to the lower back and gluteal cleft.
