Pilonidal sinus (hair cyst) treatment in Dubai
Pilonidal sinus — also known as a hair cyst — commonly affects the area at the base of the spine between the buttocks, especially in young men. It usually results from hair growing into the skin, causing chronic inflammation that may become a painful abscess or a sinus with repeated discharge and pain when sitting or moving.
What is a pilonidal sinus?
It is a small tract or cavity under the skin from accumulated hair and debris that can become infected. Without treatment, inflammation and abscesses may recur, affecting quality of life and making care harder.
Symptoms
- Pain at the lower back / natal cleft, especially when sitting
- Swelling or a painful lump between the buttocks
- Redness and warmth in the area
- Pus or foul-smelling discharge
- Repeated abscess or inflammation
Laser treatment in Dubai
Pilonidal care has advanced significantly. Laser techniques are an effective option for many suitable cases: limited intervention, less pain and bleeding, faster recovery, and quicker return to daily activity versus traditional surgery when appropriate.
