A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small hole or tunnel in the skin, near of hair. It may fill with fluid or pus, causing the formation of a cyst or abscess. It occurs in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. A pilonidal cyst usually contains hair, dirt, and debris. It can cause severe pain and can often become infected. If it becomes infected, it may ooze pus and blood and have a foul odour.
A pilonidal cyst is a round sac of tissue that’s filled with air or fluid. This common type of cyst is located in the crease of the buttocks and is usually caused by a skin infection.
These cysts are usually caused by a skin infection and they often have ingrown hairs inside.
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 Jeep bottom and vibrating seat 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 signs of an infection include:
If a one’s case is diagnosed early on, patient isn’t experiencing severe pain, and there’s no sign of inflammation, it’s likely that doctor will prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic and cleaning and removing hair.
This procedure alleviates symptoms from an abscess, or a collection of pus inside the sinus. Before this procedure, doctor will give a local anaesthesia and in care of pilonidal cleaning and removal of hair. They will then use a scalpel to open the abscess. They will clean away any hair, blood, and pus from inside the abscess.
