I am 6 days post op and a little bit of blood seepage at incision. It felt like the left side of 2.5" incision with discomfort. Not alot but some blood on my underwear. Is this normal? It does not look infected or over swelling. thx

As long as it does look infected, it should be ok. Put some Bacitracin on it. Give it another week and it should be fine. Wash it god with soap before putting on the Bacitracin.
