Pilonidal disease was originally described by Herbert Mayo in 1833 as a congenital condition with the term ‘pilonidal’, derived from the Latin ‘nest of hairs’, being coined by Richard Hodges in 1880 . Diagnosis was through identifying a characteristic epithelial track (the sinus) located in the skin of the natal cleft. During the Second World War the condition was common in jeep drivers, hence the term ‘jeep disease’ . Moreover, a similar condition was identified in the interdigital clefts of clefts of barbers caused by hair entering moist, damaged skin . Current understanding acknowledges pilonidal disease as an acquired chronic infection of the natal cleft skin and subcutaneous tissue that manifests acutely or with intermittent symptoms over several years. After taking consent from patient under local anaesthesia probing has been done with the help of copper probe and the whole track was identified .Then the opening was widened and all the hairs were removed from the track and then a proper drainage was ensured . Ksharsutra was placed in the tract, antiseptic dressing and packing done with jatyadi taila. Patient was advised for regular hot sitz bath and cleaning of tracks with jatyadi taila two times a day.
