What Could Be The Cause For Bleeding From The Incision Area After Surgery For A Pilonidal Cyst?
Hi, I had surgery for a pilonidal cyst a few months back, I had the stitches removed, took antibiotics for a few weeks after and everything has been great, but for the past week I have had some minor bleeding and drainage from the hole they left after surgery, is this normal?
