If it's not oozing, warm to the touch, or otherwise infected looking I wouldn't worry about it. It probably just pulled the new skin a little when the scab came off.

Just keep an eye on it, and if you notice any changes or it continues to seep blood after a day or two, give your doc a call.

Best wishes to you

If it becomes puffy and you see any type of discharge,

you should see your doctor. My surgeon said if I had

that problem, to keep it clean and dry, and see him when convenient. You just had major surgery although it seems minor, and it will take time to heal. Don't

obsess about it and it'll probably heal in a few days.
