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 noticed a fistula last year but couldn't get surgery because of the pandemic. It's really bothering me now - is there any medicine that could help manage it until things settle down and I can get proper treatment? The discomfort is getting hard to deal with
