What is a Pilonidal Sinus?
A pilonidal sinus is a chronic condition caused by ingrown hair or skin debris penetrating the skin, creating a cyst or abscess. If left untreated, it can lead to repeated infections and abscess formation. With modern surgical options like laser treatment, pilonidal sinus can be effectively managed with minimal pain and downtime.
