1. Opinion and examination with Surgeon is of utmost importance since hole around butt crack could be :
1. pilonidal dimple not transformed into sinus [beginning stage where pain/discharge is not there], so best management which can be done at home is: keep the area clean and hygienic
2. Do not use a cotton bud to scratch, clean or put into hole.
3. It could be pressure sore due to prolonged sitting, or old infected boil which opened and left a big hole, thus Opinion/Examination is needed
PS. Take care, not at home, but after surgical evaluation and exploration.
