My incision is bleeding after taking off the tape. One week & 3 days post op. Is that normal?

JannetteM
I was advised to take the tape off of my incisions on the crease and one of them started bleeding in a corner. It looks like it's still open. I washed it with antibacterial soap and put a gauze on it but I am freaking out because that should be closed by now and I'm afraid of infection. I called the doc but I'm still waiting for him to get back to me. Please help!
