Should I Be Worried Of Oozing Of Blood Periodically After Hand Surgery?
I had hand surgery last Monday. It has oozed blood periodically for 3 days. I told my doc today when I went to get stitches out. They took stitches out and put steri strips on. Directed to do anything I wanted. It started oozing blood again this evening? Should I be worried??

Hi fresh oozing after 3 days should usually not be there. Just wait for a day or so and if the oozing does not stop , go again to your surgeon so that he can have a fresh look , change the dressing and give compression dressing.
