Asked By:brook1908 in East Aurora, NY

I had Breast reduction surgery almost 3 weeks ago and up until 4 days ago I had no bleeding, oozing, or bruising of any sort. I noticed my bra had dried dark blood on it then start putting gauze and bacitracin on the incision as I thought it was maybe a little tear. The slight bleeding has continued JUST in the one small area and it is a very dark red almost brown color and the surrounding area of the dried blood is a bit yellow. Is this normal?
