Sister in law had boil on butt crack that busted and she says it's been bleeding for 4 days, that don't seem normal but why should it still be bleedin?

Pilonidal abscess?: or cyst? If it is still bleeding there may be a vessel involved or infected. Time to see the doctor.

See doctor: Probably pilonidal cyst or abcess. May be infected and this possibility needs to be rapidly excluded by examination. Recommend see doctor
