Answer To: Not Sure What It Is.... Posted: 10-02-05 04:39am
Dear sir,
i hope you are in the best of ur health.
The problem you are referring to is called
the pilonidal sinus. In my practice, I
have come across a number of patients with
similar complaint. It generally occurs in
ppl who have to do office work... Being
confined to chair.. But this is not a
hard and fast rule. The cause is an
implantation of a fallen hair from back in
the intergluteal crease area leading to
formation of an opening like
presentation.. The sinus. The hazards
include repeated infection of the sinus,
which can sometime become extremely
painful. I recommend that you visit a
good surgeon (preferably a plastic
surgeon) in your area who may chart out
the extent of sinus by putting dye in it
and taking some x-rays called sinugram.
It is effeciently treated then by
reshaping it and putting a skin flap on
it, so need to be worried about the
treatment. I hope this reply will help
you solve your problem...
