Normal is relative; ask your surgeon who knows the details to check out your progress before problem.

Yes and No.,: Early on a little surgical site bleeding is not out of the ordinary, but anything more than just a spot should be reported to your surgeon. After a week or so assuming the wounds are closed, bleeding is unusual and should be similarly brought to the attention of your surgeon.

No: If it is early after the surgery, it may be because of a wound gap or skin separation. If it is after a few weeks, it means that the scar is irritated or inflammatory, either because an infection, suture rejection or hypertrophy rubbing on clothes, or scab separation. You will need to show it to your surgeon.
