Light bleeding 3 days after sutures removed after Mohs procedure. Normal or not? (Photo)

Asked By:RCCruiser2006 in Orlando, FL

Basal cell carcinoma on forehead removed 7/9. Sutures removed 7 days later. Doctor was not present at time of suture removal. Assist didn't give any instructions. 3 days later there has been light bleeding. I've been using antibiotic ointment and bandaid. Why am I lightly bleeding? The picture was taken tonight 7/20. MOHS performed 7/9. Does it look like it opened up? Calling my dermatologist on Monday since it's the weekend. Any opinions or recommendations?
