We report a case of multiple pus discharging sinuses in the sacrococcygeal region in a 22‐year‐old man, who had a history of episodes of pain and pus discharge since 8 months. The patient underwent radiofrequency sinotomy using a Ellman radiofrequency device and was treated with antitubercular treatment, which resulted in complete resolution, and healing of the wound.
