The evidence for elective treatment of pilonidal sinus disease is poor. [17] The most commonly performed surgery is for the pilonidal sinus complex to be surgically excised with the wound often left open to heal. Post-surgical wound packing may be necessary, and packing typically must be replaced daily for four to eight weeks.
Plewig et al. noted that this new "acne tetrad" includes all the elements found in the original "acne triad", in addition to a fourth element, pilonidal sinus. In 1989, Plewig and Steger introduced the term "acne inversa", indicating a follicular source of the disease and replacing older terms such as "Verneuil disease".

Skin involvement in subcutaneous tissue infections includes: cutaneous and subcutaneous abscesses, [37] breast abscess, decubitus ulcers, infected pilonidal cyst or sinus, Meleney's ulcer infected diabetic (vascular or trophic) ulcers, bite wound, [38] anaerobic cellulitis and gas gangrene, bacterial synergistic gangrene, and burn wound ...
Treatment for dermoid cyst is complete surgical removal, preferably in one piece and without any spillage of cyst contents. Marsupialization, a surgical technique often used to treat pilonidal cyst, is inappropriate for dermoid cyst due to the risk of malignancy. The association of dermoid cysts with pregnancy has been increasingly reported.
Dermoid sinus is thought to be a genetic skin condition in dogs. It is also known as pilonidal sinus. However, unlike pilonidal sinus in humans, the dermoid sinus in dogs is a neural tube defect. [1] Dermoid sinus is sometimes also confused with dermoid cyst (a teratoma). A dermoid sinus is rare in dogs and cats.
