Keep open: You actually want to keep the cyst open. Premature closure can lead to abscess. Unfortunately the area involved is sensitive. Usually keeping this area covered with a "feminine napkin" will provide ample coverage until fully evaluated by your doctor. Fever and increase bleeding warrants an er visit.

I've had issues with pilonidal cyst, sinus. Lately, though, haven't had pain and there's been little to no drainage from what I can tell; just two small dimples. Itches some. Should I see a doc? Or just keep it clean, shaven, and not worry too much?

Can a minimum excision of a Epidermoid Cyst cause bleeding for a day or two after the procedure? I got it to stop with pressure. There was a little on bandage too. No pus has came out of the area. My doc is closed. I go Monday for a recheck?
