Can sebaceous cysts bleed?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If traumatized: It would be rare for a cyst to bleed unless infected or traumatized in some way. A bleeding lesion should be examined and biopsied by your physician.

Unusual: Can bleed if the infection ruptures thru skin but you may want to have it seen to make sure it is just a cyst. If so, a surgeon can excise it for you
