Summary

This study tests if laser hair removal can stop pilonidal disease from coming back in people with darker skin (Fitzpatrick types IV-VI). About 36 people aged 10-21 will be in the trial. The main goal is to see if the laser treatment reduces the need for antibiotics or surgery for new abscesses or sinuses.
