    Matt. pilonidals usually look like holes, not tears or slices or cuts. A pic would help to offer an opinion

      In my non medical opinion this does not look like a pilonidal. I would suggest you go to the doc, ideally a colorectal specialist. If you are near NYC I know a great colorectal specialist associated with NYU.
