    Hey Ethan...it's noting to worry about. You're gonna get small droplets of blood until your stitches dissolve and the incision closes. You have to restrict your movement. I know you can walk pretty well, but don't over do it. When I had my surgery, I pretty much layed down alot, but still sat up in my chair and just rested...at least until my stitches dissolved.

    Nothing to worry about i also had some blood and later some greenish discharge as tge wound started healing. So unless their is pain around the area or the incision becomes red and warm i wouldnt worry about it just keep the area clean.

    I had this problem a couple of times but it did not last, think mine was caused drying myself after having a bath.
