Does this punch excision appear to be healing correctly? (photo)

This is day six after a punch excision. I am concerned about scarring. I use peroxide on the site and put Vaseline on every day and cover with bandage. I have experienced no pain and little issue, but this morning I did not a small trace of blood. This is day 6. Stitches to be cut out in three days. Should I see the doc before then?
