    What is Pilonidal Sinus and how can it be avoided?

    A Pilonidal sinus is a small cyst that’s located at the top of the cleft of the buttocks near the tail bone. It can cause severe pain and infection. It can also cause pus and blood discharge, and produce a foul-smelling odour. Young men are more likely to have pilonidal cysts. The condition is known to have a high recurrence rate. People who sit for long periods of time (e.g. truck drivers, tailors, etc.) are at greater risk and Pilonidal sinus is more likely to develop in such people.

    What are the Signs and Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus?

    At first, you may not notice any symptoms except for a small bump at the top of your buttocks. If the depression becomes chronic, it can lead to a cyst or abscess. An abscess, on the other hand, is a tissue that has become swollen or inflamed. A cyst is a pouch that is filled with fluid.

    Although the exact cause is unknown, it appears that most are caused by loose hairs entering the skin.

The body creates a cyst or sinus around the hair to counteract the hair becoming foreign material.
