Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Health
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Interdigital pilonidal sinus (IPS), commonly known as Hairdresser's disease, is an occupational hazard.
  • This condition primarily affects male barbers due to the nature of their work.

Observation:

  • Two cases of interdigital pilonidal sinus (IPS) in barbers are presented.
  • Both patients underwent surgical excision followed by primary closure for treatment.

Findings:

  • A six-month follow-up revealed no complications or recurrence of the condition in either case.
  • The study highlights the efficacy of surgical excision and primary closure for treating IPS.

Implications:

  • Interdigital pilonidal sinus (IPS) is preventable by minimizing hair implantation in the interdigital web space.
  • Surgical intervention, including primary closure or skin flaps, provides effective treatment for acquired cases, ensuring patient comfort and successful outcomes.
