Paragraphs
A pilonidal sinus is a small hole or tunnel in the skin near the tailbone, just above the buttocks. It can collect hair, dirt, and debris. Over time, this opening can get infected and form a pilonidal cyst. This condition is more common in young adults, especially men, and those who sit for long hours.
