Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I suffer from pilonidal sinus infection i have it over a year now its formed like a second hole....should i be worried? also i do scuba dive so was wondering would this effect it? there is still significant pus discharge too. (i havent dived in 2 years but planning on it this summer)
The other hole near a pilonidal sinus indicates extension of the existing pathology with subcutaneous spread or infection inside trying to burst from another opening.
As per my clinical expertise, I recommend to get its surgery at earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
