I learnt this the hard way with tea tree oil. I got a pilonidal cyst, which reoccurred and I didn't want to leave it until I was forced to go into an urgent care to get it lanced again. I'd used tea tree oil to treat an abscessed tooth before, and figured that should work on it too.
Well by day 3 I burnt my arse crack, turned a huge patch brown, but it did the job when the skin lifted the cyst discharged. Haven't had it reoccur since. I'll make sure to dilute it next time, with how much I used a bottle would last a lifetime and thats pretty damn cheap and easy compared to getting it surgically removed.

That's a great story. Yes you don't need to use much and the cost is low.
