| Pilonidal sinus disease : Pilonidal sinus disease is an inflammatory condition involving the hair follicles that can occur anywhere along the crease between the buttocks, which runs from the bone at the bottom of the spine (sacrum) to the anus. The disease is benign and has no association with cancer. Pilonidal disease may appear as: - A pilonidal - abscess - , in which the hair follicle becomes infected and pus collects in the fat tissue - A pilonidal cyst, in which a cyst or hole forms if there has been an abscess for a long time - A pilonidal sinus, in which a tract grows under the skin or deeper from the hair follicle - A small pit or pore in the skin that contains dark spots or hair | |
