Partial thyroidectomy- mild bleeding

Hello,

I had a partial thyroidectomy last Wednesday (2/05) and the incision was closed with surgical glue. They put a clear, waterproof seal on top of it. On a couple of occasions today I've had a very small drop of blood appear at the corner of the incision, not enough to leak through or out of the covering. Is this something that others have experienced or should I be concerned? Thank you!
