Abstract

Pilonidal disease is an acquired skin disease, usually in the sacrococcygeal region, rarely in the umbilical or intermammary region. It occurs as an abscess, cyst, or sinus. The considered cause is folliculitis caused by hair indentation into the follicles. Interdigital pilonidal sinus is a rare professional disease of hairdressers, barbers, and dog groomers. Short-cut hair is sharp, electrostatic, and adhesive, so it easily perforates and lags in the interdigital epidermis.
