Description
Pilonidal sinus is more common in teenagers and young adults. Factors associated with a higher risk include prolonged sitting, thick or coarse body hair, excess weight, repeated friction around the tailbone and family history.
It can affect people of any gender or body type. Risk factors do not confirm a diagnosis.
Look out for pain, swelling, redness or discharge near the tailbone. A painful lump or discharge should be examined by a healthcare professional.
