Pilonidal cyst: You need surgical closure of pilonidal tract . Simple drainage is not a permanent solution. It will continue to get reinfected .

Several years ago I had a pilonidal cyst that had to be cut open and and drained. It healed and I didn't have any problems until about 2 years ago. At first it would bleed for a week stop for a few. Now it bleeds almost daily?
