Hello,
Slight bleeding can happen after removal of the patch. Generally it will settle by itself. As of now you can take drugs like Tranexemic acid to control bleeding, if persists better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
