Had closed pilonidal cyst excision done. Noticed bleeding with severe pain. Is this normal?
Answered by
thanks for writing back.
While the bleeding could just be collected blood draining out, it is more likely to be an infection. This is not a normal part of the healing process. You would need a course of antibiotics and a drainage as well. Please see your surgeon immediately
Let me know if you have any more questions.

MD i have just been diagnosed with a pilonidal cyst which has burst. I have been on penicillin for almost a week.

How long does it normally take to heal?
