A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small hole or tunnel in the skin. It can become clogged with fluid or pus, causing a cyst or abscess to form. It appears in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. A pilonidal cyst is commonly composed of hair, dirt, and debris. It can be extremely painful and is frequently infected. It may ooze pus and blood and emit a foul odour if infected. A PNS is primarily a male condition, but it is also common in adolescents and young adults. It's also more common in people who sit a lot, like cab drivers. The precise reason for this condition is unknown, but it is thought to be a combination of changing hormones (because it occurs after puberty), hair growth, and friction from clothing or prolonged sitting. Sitting, for example, can cause the hair to burrow back under the skin. The body recognises the hair as foreign and mounts an immune response against it, much like it would to a splinter. The cyst forms around your hair as a result of your immune response. Multiple sinuses that connect beneath the skin may exist in a person. A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small skin hole or tunnel.
