What is Pilonidal sinus?
The area between the buttocks is known as the natal cleft. A pilonidal sinus develops when hairs grow in the natal cleft or when uncontrollable hairs fall and collect there. The germs carried by these hairs can cause an infection and inflammation in that location. Pus may occasionally form an abscess and flow out towards the skin through the sinus (tunnel).
