Advanced Ayurvedic & Panchakarma Care by Dr. Vaibhav Garud
Pilonidal Sinus is a small tunnel or tract that forms under the skin, usually near the tailbone (in the cleft of the buttocks). It often contains hair, dirt, or debris and can lead to infection, swelling, and pus discharge. This condition is common in people who sit for long hours or have excessive hair growth in that area.
If left untreated, it can become painful and may form recurrent abscesses.
