A Pilonidal Sinus is a small tunnel or hole in the skin, typically located near the tailbone, at the top of the buttocks. It may become filled with hair, debris, and dirt, leading to infection, swelling, pain, or pus discharge. This condition is more common in men and those who sit for extended periods, like office workers or drivers.
