Butterfly stitches
Is it okay for a wound to bleed through butterfly stitches? I've had them on for 2 days, it's on my toe next to my big toe, I sliced it open falling off a metal stool.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Ideally there shouldn't be any bleeding.
Minimal bleeding on the first day is fine.
Get it checked out by the surgeon who put those stitches in person for further evaluation and management.
He will be able to help you further.
Best regards.
