Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of hair removal at the pilonidal site, my treatment advice is :

1. Avoid using hair removal cream or razor at that site.
2. Apply an Eflora cream twice daily on it.
3. Only curative treatment is hair removal by laser done by a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
