Pilonidal sinus is a condition affecting the skin near the tailbone. It is often associated with hair entering the skin, combined with friction and pressure.

Risk factors may include:

Prolonged sitting, particularly in sedentary occupations

Thick or coarse body hair

Overweight or obesity

Repeated friction or local irritation

Family history

Awareness of these factors can encourage people to seek assessment when symptoms develop. Pain, swelling, redness, or discharge near the tailbone should not be ignored.
