I've had a pilonidal sinus for about a week now and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hesitant about going under the knife. Are there any other treatment options that could help me avoid surgery? I'm worried about recovery time and complications

View allThe surgery wound from my perianal pus removal a month ago hasn't fully healed yet and there's a small bump on one side - could that be fat? I attached a picture, how much longer might it take to heal completely and what can I do to help it heal faster so I can get back to normal

I've had an accident recently and now I've got these wounds on both of my hands. The one on my right hand is healing, but the other one is starting to look infected and has some pus.
