How do I know IF I have pilonidal sinus?
As we know, Pilonidal Sinus is an infection of the skin and underlying fatty tissue located in the crease between both buttocks, or in the lower back.
Symptoms
The diagnosis of pilonidal disease or pilonidal cysts is very different from one patient to another. However, some of the most frequent symptoms are:
Usually, the first episode of SP occurs acutely, in the form of an abscess, with reddening of the skin, pain and bulging, and ends when the skin is opened (by a surgeon, physician or spontaneously) and the accumulated pus drains.
Sometimes the process can be very “gentle” and not produce a frank discharge or intense pain, but the fistulous orifices (holes in the skin at the bottom of the groove between the buttocks) remain.
In the long term, the evolution may vary from very little symptomatic cases, with “dry” fistulous orifices and hardly any discomfort; to repeated episodes of abscesses, often creating new infectious tracts after each one, to the presence of one or several fistulous orifices in the skin that intermittently discharge pus or blood, without producing new abscesses.
