Hello,
Thank you for the query.
The medications prescribed by your doctor are reasonable and they will help you a lot to resolve your symptoms.As anti fungal treatment is suggestible for such type of sores as they are mostly fungal.Along with them I advice you to make the area clean and dry.If there is any problem with constipation then you need to have laxatives.There are chances of pilonidal sinus as there will hair in that area.I hope your doctor may ruled out that too.
Hope I have answered your query.Follow-up queries are always welcome.
Wish you a good health.
