I am 6 days PO and took my sterile tape off my areola? It sort of peeled away from my flesh.

I am 6 days PO and I was told to take my sterile strips off at one week. Well I took one side off because it was bugging me. My nipple sort of peeled off my skin. Not my whole nipple but like a little tiny corner is separated. I can see pink flesh. It doesn’t hurt at all. I am just wondering is this normal? I put new sterile tape on it and am not messing with the other side.
