A member asked:
Just had surgery 5 days ago, the stitches & clear glue looks fine but every day i notice small drops of blood on my underwear. is that normal?

Probably : It depends on what part of your body the surgery was performed. The "blood" you are seeing may be small pieces of clot. Are you on an anti coagulant? If it continues see your doc.

Oral surgery. Are dissolvable stitches easily visible a few hours of removing gauzes of third molar extractions. I can't see them. I only see dark red where the cuts where made. I assume the stitches are under the "drying" blood above the stitches?
