[|Human|] I have a pilonidal cyst 3 months back, treated with full dose of amoxicilin and got cured, it has now recurred and at a primary stage. need to know which antibiotic to treat this time other than amoxicilin??? surgery is not an option at this point, want to treat it with antibiotic
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for the query. Pilonidal cyst can not be treated with an antibiotic. The only thing that can be treated with antibiotic is an abscess due to infected colonial cyst. Moreover, an antibiotic can be given only in case of diabetes or weak immune system. Otherwise, abscess incision is the correct treatment. Please note that colonial cyst is caused by ingrown hair. This hair irritates surrounding tissues and lead to recurring abscess. To get it permanently cured you need to have the cyst removed by a surgeon. Please consult one with this issue. Hope this will help. Regards.
