A pilonidal cyst is seen when the skin near the anus forms a cyst that becomes pus filled. This may need drainage and this can get infected.
Most types of pus and infection and wounds would take up to 2 weeks to heal.
Here are a few things that are suggested after a surgery. Avoid picking and squeezing the wound. Avoid infecting the area by touching the wound as well.
Many people find sitting in a sitz bath useful as well. Along with this, getting a clean and balanced diet and drinking lots of water can be useful.
I hope this helps. All the best.
