Think DH has a pilonidal cyst/sinus

DH has had a slightly sore area at the top of his bum for about a year. Nothing excessively painful though. Tonight he realised that the damp patch he keeps getting on the back of his pants is actual blood and pus.

I had a look and there are 3 small holes there, one of which is oozing pus slightly. It is red but not swollen. He is pretty hairy around that area and rides a motorbike so probably gets sweaty (sorry TMI) which probably doesn't help.

What should he do? Will it go away or get worse?

It deffo needs sorting, these things don't go away without help. He's going to have to man up on this one and go to the GP bless him. Not nice!!!
