A pilonidal sinus, also known as pilonidal disease or pilonidal cyst, is a chronic condition characterized by the formation of a small tunnel or tract in the skin near the tailbone (coccyx). This condition typically occurs in the cleft of the buttocks, just above the crease between the buttocks.
Pilonidal sinuses usually develop when hair follicles become irritated or inflamed, leading to the formation of a small abscess or cyst beneath the skin. Over time, the abscess may rupture, causing drainage of pus or fluid from the sinus tract. Recurrent infections and inflammation can result in the formation of a chronic sinus or tract, which may continue to drain intermittently.
Preventing pilonidal sinus involves minimizing the risk factors that contribute to its development. While it may not be possible to prevent the condition entirely, adopting certain preventive measures can help reduce the likelihood of pilonidal sinus formation. Here are some strategies for preventing pilonidal sinus:
