What is Pilonidal Sinus ?
A Pilonidal Sinus is an abnormal small tract or channel that connects with the outside through the skin opening, typically in the area at the upper part of the buttock crease. It is formed due to the trapping of hair or debris under the skin, which results in the formation of a cavity or tunnel. The sinus can gradually gather hair and skin debris, thus creating a pocket. Initially, it might not be seen, but if not treated, the condition can develop. Knowledge of a pilonidal sinus encourages people to get timely assessments from doctors for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus
- Pain Near the Tailbone: The pain in this location can be a minor or major but usually is felt just above the buttocks. This discomfort often increases with sitting, bending or putting weight on the area. The reason behind this is the inflammation or infection of the sinus.
- Formation of a Pit or Small Hole on the Skin: A very small opening or dimple-like hole might be visible on the skin. This is the sinus tract that allows for the entrance of hair and bacteria. Occasionally, there may even be more than one opening.
- Fever or Feeling Unwell: Severe infection may lead to fever, weariness, or chills. This indicates that the sinus has entered the state of abscess formation or becoming severely infected.
- Skin Irritation or Itching Around the Area: The skin would be itchy or irritated because of the wetness, continuous rubbing, or draining. This type of irritation is quite common in the case of chronic Pilonidal Sinus.
