Surgery Done On Pilonidal Cyst, Stitches Removed, Bleeding, Pus Leakage, Hole Formation. Treatment Options?

Two weeks and a half weeks ago I had surgery on a pilonidal cyst . I saw the doctor 4 days ago and she removed all but 4 stitches. Well today I noticed a little blood and the area was leaking some type of fluid. Well I had a friend look at it and there is now a hole. Is this ok until I see the dr again in 3 days? And what should I do to keep this from splitting more and is the leaking good or bad?
