Q: My one and a half year old daughter is born with an additional hole in the buttocks. Is there any problem with this?
A:This is most likely a sinus over the tail bone. Most of these are innocuous. The location of the dimple in relation to the spine is very important. To be certain, please have your baby examined by a paediatric surgeon in your town.
