General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Recurrence in pilonidal abscess or sinus are common. But as you have started bleeding from it now, you should visit your doctor. It might not have properly healed or may have been infected and recur again.
Visit your surgeon to make sure that whether a new cyst is developing or not. Bleeding from lesion is not good as it can get you severe infection and blood loss.
Always remember hair are notorious in occurrence of pilonidal sinus. Keep the area free from hair.
