assalam o alaikum, prolonged sitting can cause pilonidal sinus, but sitting cross legged has low chances. shaving of back hair is must for avoiding recurrence.

pilonidal sinus happens in people which sit longer in chairs, or drivers which drive often and for long distance.
recurrence is common, esp, in hairy people and which does not avoid the habit or change the profession of long time sitting in seats. pilonidal sinus occurs due to penetration of hairs which accumulate at lower back in hairy peopl which sit for long.
habit of shaving the beack area monthly, daily washing area of the back with soap, good hygiene are the ways to avoid it.
