I have pilonidal cysts on tailbone (they recurred), and i've had a lot of drainage, which is fine. but it's caused an open wound just above the anus that bleeds sometimes when i pass stool. how to best close this new wound up?

You likely need surgery for that complication so you should see a surgeon if you have not seen one in the past.
