Who is the right Doctor for Pilonidal Sinus treatment?

Ideally, a Proctologist or an Anorectal Surgeon is the right doctor for Pilonidal Sinus treatment.

PILONIDAL SINUS

A Pilonidal sinus is a tract which commonly contains hair. It occurs under your skin between your buttocks above anus. 

Pilonidal sinuses are commonly seen in young adults and are rarely seen in children or people over 40 years old. This seems to occur more often in people with a lot of body hair

A Pilonidal cystectomy is surgery to completely remove the cyst, along with the Pilonidal sinus tracts. While this procedure is more complex than an incision and drainage, it’s also more likely to be successful. 

If it’s not treated, a Pilonidal cyst can possibly lead to an abscess or a sinus cavity. Those are both signs that the skin infection is getting worse.
