Brief Answer: its looking like sinus to me Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing to HCM. Repeated episodes of tear are more suggestive of pilonidal sinus following rupture or excision of the cyst. Show it to a surgeon for a physical examination, and if that indeed comes as a sinus, then it will need excision of the entire sinus tract for permanent cure. Till then keep the area clean and dry and hairless and continue your dressings. Hope i have been helpful. Dr. Ashish Verma

Brief Answer: then maintain good hygiene and it may heal Detailed Answer: Hi, Its extremely difficult to exclude sinus through pictures. Since it is appearing clean and uninfected, you can maintain good hygiene by keeping it clean and dry. You can apply even moisturizer there to prevent dryness of the skin. Continue with neosporin powder and if possible take Sitz's bath, i.e., sitting in a small tub with XXXXXXX warm water and 5ml of any antiseptic solution added to it, for 15 mins, 2-3 times a day for a week. This will increase blood circulation there and promote healing. I would insist that you visit a surgeon for physical examination if it doesn't improve with time, say 2 weeks. I'll be available to help you with additional concerns (if any) during the healing process. So don't be worried. Regards Dr. Ashish Verma
