Topical Anti-Androgens in Pilonidal Sinus Disease

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the topical drug clascoterone in patients with pilonidal disease, which is a common, benign skin condition of the gluteal cleft. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does clascoterone improve the severity of pilonidal disease as scored by a physician? * Does clascoterone improve patient symptoms due to pilonidal disease? * Does clascoterone improve the inflammation seen under the microscope in pilonidal disease removed at surgery Participants will apply clascoterone or a placebo cream to the diseased area for 3 months. They will be assessed every 4 weeks for disease severity assessed by a physician viewing patient photos and a symptom-based survey. Researchers will compare participants who received clascoterone treatment to those who received placebo.
