Pilonidal Sinus Treatment in Hadapsar, Pune
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or hole in the skin, typically located at the top of the cleft between the buttocks. It often contains hair, skin debris, and sometimes becomes infected, leading to pain, swelling, redness, and drainage of pus. While the exact cause is unclear, it’s believed to be related to ingrown hairs and friction in the area. Treatment is usually only necessary if the sinus becomes infected and may involve antibiotics, drainage of an abscess, or surgical removal of the sinus tract in recurrent cases. Maintaining good hygiene and hair removal in the affected area can help prevent infections.
What are the causes of pilonidal sinus disease?
- The exact cause of this condition isn’t known, but its cause is believed to be a combination of changing hormones (because it occurs after puberty), hair growth, and friction from clothes or from spending a long time sitting.
- Activities that cause friction, like sitting, can force the hair growing in the area to burrow back under the skin. The body considers this hair foreign and launches an immune response against it, similar to how it would react when dealing with a splinter. This immune response forms the cyst around your hair. Sometimes a person may have multiple sinuses that connect under the skin.
Identifying a pilonidal sinus and recognizing signs of infection
- pain when sitting or standing
- swelling of the cyst
- reddened, sore skin around the area
- pus or blood draining from the abscess, causing a foul odor
- hair protruding from the lesion
- formation of more than one sinus tract, or holes in the skin
