I'm dealing with this pilonidal sinus for a couple of months now, and I'm not really sure if I should see a doctor or just go to a skin care clinic for treatment. I'm also really worried about how much it's all going to cost in total. Any advice would be super helpful!

I have a hernia in my upper right groin that seems to be either femoral or inguinal. I really don't want surgery but I've heard it's the only option. The bulge isn't always there it only shows up when there's pressure. Are there any other treatments or remedies that could help heal it? Could homeopathy work for this?
