How long is the Dermabond supposed to stay on?

I have 4 small incisions and then one that is around 1 inch long. When they put the Dermabond on the big one they did a really sloppy job. One side of it dried up hard and thick but it wasn't attached to my skin. Now it got caught on my nightgown lastnight and it's started peeling back. You can't see my wound but you can see a little clear Fluid like Water that oozes out from under the Dermabond.

I'm guessing this is okay huh?

I have one incision that they got Dermabond all around the incision but NONE on the actual incision:( I guess they were in a big hurry.

There are stitches underneath so it's not long it's going to come open I just don't want it getting infected or anything.

Just make sure to keep the incisions clean and dry. The dermabond is a dressing. It can take a week for it to flake off
