Abstract
Interdigital pilonidal sinus of the hand is an occupational disease of male barbers. Customers' hairs penetrate the supple interdigital skin, cause a sinus, and later a cyst. Through the sinus, the hairs get entrapped and may occasionally be expressed. Excision of the sinus or the cyst is curative.
