Oozing blood after s: Where is the wound ? and how deep it was? The clots coming though would indicate that under the skin repair you have an hematoma, as time goes on the clot will undergo further lysis and the hematoma will liquify. You should have an Doppler/ultrasound, obtain the size of the cavity, and if you have a cavity of 4 x 4 in my opinion if the cavity is present, must be re-explored, remove all skin sutur
