Should I go to the doctors? I have a pilonidal cyst it's oozing a little with pus and bled does it heal on its own

A pilonidal cyst may not heal on its own and may require medical intervention. You can try keeping the area clean and dry, and using warm compresses to help with drainage. However, it is recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed, and in severe cases, surgical drainage or removal of the cyst may be necessary.
