Painless pilonidal cyst?

Hey guys. So I have what seems to be a pilonidal cyst at the end of my tailbone. I was at the doctor's for my tonsillitis yesterday and he said it indeed probably is a pilonidal cyst (there's somewhat of a dimple on it, more like an enlarged pore, maybe a millimeter in diameter). It probably developed due to the fact that I had A) Shaved back there about a week ago, and B) Because when I had tonsillitis I was basically sitting in the same position for a good 3 days. Now, what my real concern for this thread is, it's completely painless (about a centimeter in diameter, can't really feel it unless I bend over). This thing causes me no bother whatsoever, but I also don't want it to get infected and have to deal with the complications of that. Is there any way of stopping it in its tracks now? I thought I might add I'm on a course of amoxicillin 500mg for my tonsils. Any help would be appreciated
