Hello. biopsy and removal of mole on back this morning. i was fine but now bandaid is bloody. is it normal to bleed so randomly and late afterwards?

See below: It has been 16 hours since you wrote and bleeding should have stopped by now. It not you need to go the nearest emergency room. In general compression of the bleeding site is a good first measure to control bleeding. Bleeding can sometimes occur a few hours after a procedure.
