A member asked:

Pilonidal cyst ruptured. been inflamed for 2 weeks. bloody pus came out. should i continue to let drain or go see dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BOTH: These cysts will continue to recur unless the cyst is completely surgically drained or excised in total. Bacterial cultures are mandatory for correct antibiotic therapy. I advise using sterile gauze pads gently placed over the ruptured cyst.
