I had a cyst removed from my scalp about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It scabbed over a couple of times, but never fully healed. Now, it's clear stuff and blood. I keep squeezing it out to try to get it all out and it just keeps filling back up! YUCK!!!

I think it's infected, but I may just be scared.

I am debating on whether or not to go to the "urgent care" clinic or wait until Monday to see if I can get in to my physician (the one who did the removal and is my family doc).

Is there anything I should be aware of or watch out for that might be worrisome?
