Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of a true pilonidal sinus of the belly button / naval region, removal of the hair 3 months back.
Now there is a pain on the right side of the naval on pressing.; wants to know whether this is related to the previous problem or just a simple pimple.
As per the history you have provided, this looks to be the remnant of the previous problem.
Pilonidal sinuses are known to recurrence after some time.
I would advise you the following:
Get a physical examination done and confirm by high resolution ultrasonography.
IF the sinus is still there, you will require to have a re-exploration of the area and removed surgically for a permanent cure.
MRI Sinography can help.
Till then apply liquid povidone iodine locally, take an antibiotic a
