How to prevent Pilonidal Sinus(PNS)?

As the age old saying goes, Prevention is always better than cure. Here are a few ways you can prevent Pilonidal Sinus.

- Maintaining proper hygiene throughout the body.

- As it mostly occurs in hairy individuals, due to the inward growth of hair, it is important to keep removing the hair near the natal cleft region(above the buttocks) at the lower back.

- Persons with dry skin need to use the appropriate soap and moisturizer and also consume enough water daily to avoid skin dryness.
