Pilonidal sinus: the tailbone problem, sorted.
A pilonidal sinus is a small tract in the skin at the top of the buttock crease, often with hair trapped inside. It causes a painful lump near the tailbone, discharge, and abscesses that come back. It is common in young adults who sit for long hours.

How can I prevent it from coming back?

Pilonidal sinus surgery is generally covered under mediclaim; cashless is arranged with most insurers.
