Pilonidal cyst: I believe that a general surgeon is best qualified to evaluate,advise and treat you for this disorder in case drainage of the cyst is needed.

Infected?: If not infected or inflamed you can go years without doing anything. If draining or painful see an MD for evaluation.

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?
How soon after a pilonidal cyst excision (with it left open) can I exercise again? Still packing/dressing changes twice a day.
