Wound : Wound drainage, especially green slime, should probably be rechecked by your doctor asap. May be a wound infection. May be treated with antibiotics and opening the wound to wash it out.

Bleeding : If the site is actively bleeding and oozing you should notify your doctor to make sure the bleeding stops and that the wound is not infected.
