Asked By:A plus in London gn

I had otoplasty over 60 hours ago. Around 6 hours post op I felt blood trickle down my neck from my right ear from under my bandage, I wiper it for a couple of minutes until it stopped. Now I am around 60 hours post op I can feel the same thing under my bandage for my left ear, if I put my finger under the bandage there is damp blood on my finger. Is this normal ? Has anyone else experienced this ? I was planning on removing my bandages tomorrow but I am a little worried now. Thanks in advance
