Pilonidal Sinus refers to the small channel in your skin. When the channel is filled with pus or fluid, it leads to the formation of cysts or an abscess. A pilonidal cyst usually occurs at the top of the buttock crease near the tailbone, and consists of dirt, debris, and hair. When the cyst becomes infected or inflamed, it causes severe pain and discomfort.

first of all Pilonidal sinus is not cure by taking only medicine, There will be a big wound in modern surgery and also Surgical stains will be there for lifetime. Kshara Sutra Therapy is a unique ancient technique, which is proved to be an effective treatment for Pilonidal Sinus.

If it is a pilonidal sinus as mentioned by you. the newly available radial laser technology is best.
But for this surgery the surgeon should have all the accessories to perform the surgery as it has to be performed at many sites over the sinus. So the knowledge of the surgeon is also considered.
Again the cost of laser is high.
If it is associated with abscess as mentioned by you. Laser surgery is not indicated as there is no tract available for ablation.

You can try to remove impacted hairs from that sinus. Acourse of antibiotic and hot sitz bath is helpful. Try to keep the area over your spinal cord hairfree.
