What are those two dimples on your buttocks?

The two small dimples on top of the buttocks, right where the lower back meets the glutes, are known as the ‘Dimples of Venus’. Scientifically referred to as sacral dimples, sacrococcygeal or coccygeal dimples, they are a result of tissues connecting your skin to your pelvis. Please note that while we all have these ligaments connecting the lower back skin to the pelvis, not everyone has these dimples on their lower back. Genetics play a huge role in whether these dimples are visible on your back or not.

Are pilonidal dimples bad?

Not really. Pilonidal dimples are just another sacral dimple that forms right at the base of the spine near the tailbone. Like the other ‘beauty of Venus’ dimples, the pilonidal dimple is generally harmless.

Is it good or bad to have dimples?

For the most part, dimples on the buttocks are neither good nor bad. They are simply a part of life. While they may not be seen as the most attractive thing by society, they’re largely caused by things outside of our control. You should learn to love your body as this is the best thing to help combat the insecurity that comes with the development of these dimples. You can also try the above-mentioned treatment methods, but don’t be disheartened if they don’t work – or just work temporarily and the dimples come back again.
