    It depends on what kind of surgery you had. Did you have it lanced and drained or did you have the cyst completely removed? If you just had it lanced and its bleeding again it could be that the cyst is refilling and draining. You should look into seeing a plastic surgeon if you can. I've had 5 surgeries in the last 5 years in just trying to get rid of mine and I'm now recovering from my 5th surgery which has seemed to do the trick. General surgeons just take it the cyst out and close you back up but plastic surgeons will rebuild the area so the cyst can't come back that has been my experience. Regardless in the meantime get a gel called silvagel by med line. It works great in healing non healing wounds and prevents infection that way it won't get infected. I've had alot of experience with it. I understand your fear and hope everything goes well for you.
