What Causes Pilonidal Cyst In Sinus Tracts?
I am a girl and I live in India.I think I may have the sinus tracts which may cause pilonidal cyst.I have like four tiny holes at the end of my tailbone. I just noticed it yesterday. I feel a slight itching sensation and pain when I lean back on my seat or lay down on my back for the past two days. I dont have any bump nor do the holes drain(sinus tracts maybe.. i dont know). Should I consult a doc? Is there any way to avoid pilonidal sinus if it is on the way. What should I do now..please I would apppreciate some guidance and help. Height:152 cms Weight: 62 kgs Medical History : I have never been diagnosed with anythin like this before. I have never fallen on my back. I ve never had any surgery before.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The pilonidal cyst pilonidal sinus is a small hole or tunnel in the skin.
It may fill with fluid or pus, causing the formation of a cyst or abscess.
It should be confirmed as a diagnosis through an xray.
If the diagnosis is confirmed, you can consult an ENT specialist for an antibiotic treatment.

Kind regards!
