Because every pilonidal cyst is unique to the person affected, doctors use a variety of methods to treat this condition. In mild cases, regularly shaving the area can resolve the problem. This prevents the hair from embedding into the skin.

First-time abscesses may need only simple incision and drainage. But if the cyst recurs or if there are multiple cysts or cavities, your doctor may recommend more extensive surgery.

Incision and drainage procedure. During this procedure, you're given a local anesthetic to numb the area before your doctor opens and drains the cyst. Afterward, your doctor packs the wound so that it can heal from the inside out.
Surgery. Surgical treatment of recurrent pilonidal cysts usually involves opening and draining infected cysts and cutting away skin and flesh that cover any dimples or pits that could potentially develop into abscesses. The wounds are left open and packed to heal from the inside out. In some cases, the wound is partially sewn to prevent the wound from closing up prematurely. Surgery may be done with local, regional or general anesthesia.
Wound care treatment is extremely important after surgery for an infected cyst. Your doctor or nurse will give you detailed instructions on how to change the dressings. At home, you'll need to perform wet-to-dry dressings two to three times a day for several weeks. These dressings support a process called granulation, which helps to form new and healthy tissue from the inside out.

Bleeding and infection are the two most common complications after pilonidal cyst surgery. While changing the dressings, you may notice oozing of blood or clear fluid, which is normal. However, persistent bleeding that requires more than two or three dressing changes a day or drainage that is foul smelling isn't normal. See your doctor if you experience these symptoms.

Pilonidal cysts can become a chronic problem, recurring even after treatment. Or they can resolve without complications after surgery.
