Suggest Treatment For Pilonidal Cyst
It looks like my 14 year old daughter may have has a pilondial cyst that has burst. It is draining, but looks to be clear serous fluid. She does have type 1 diabetes. Do I need to take her in for this or just treat with antibiotic cream. It is the size of a pencil tip eraser.

Hello,
As she has type 1 diabetes, it's difficult to treat in case of uncontrolled sugar.
I would suggest doing a daily dressing and start antibiotic amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
Please keep sugar under control and if not getting relief, go for surgery after surgeon consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
