About Pilonidal Sinus in New Delhi
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity that develops in the skin, typically at the top of the cleft between the buttocks, often containing hair and skin debris that trigger chronic inflammation and infection. It is thought to result from loose hair being driven into the skin through friction and pressure in this area, leading to a foreign body reaction. The condition ranges from an asymptomatic small pit to a painful, infected abscess, and it commonly recurs, particularly in young adults who sit for prolonged periods or have a hairy, deep gluteal cleft.
