Open pilonidal wound started bleeding 3 days ago, 17 days post op, and not stopped. no puss/foul smell, is it normal? is it sign of infection? thanks

Not uncommon : This happens sometimes. Call your surgeon to make sure you're doing the right management of it. Sometimes you will need to do different wound care now.
