Is It Normal To Bleed After Pilonidal Cyst Removal?
My son had a pilonidal cyst removed two days ago. It is very deep. We are packing at home. There is bleeding that fills up the wound when the packing is removed. Is this normal? Also, what is the normal healing time? He is 18, 5'10 and 200 pounds.

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
Your query being appreciated, post operative bleeding from wound site is not normal one but it is pretty common and surgeon takes care of that in better way so it is better to see the surgeon, the normal healing time is a week if everything is uneventful else it may lengthen according to events (Post operative complications ) hope this information helps.
