Clear Liquid From My Incision

I'm 8 days post op and I've been having a great post Op so far but today after getting home from my post op appointment I noticed one of my incisions scabs came off and the glue was off from the area also. I just lightly pressed around the incision and some clear liquid (with a hint of red) came out. Every time I push on the area around it more comes out. It's not sore at all so what is this? And of course I noticed it AFTER my post op appointment.

havent had my surgery yet. i will be having mine April 30, but what i read and heard from the dr. is as long as it is clear and no pain that this can be normal.

i think that if there is no hard lump underneath, no pain, then it should be o.k. i wouldnt continue to put pressure on it though. it does need to heal over.

i had the same problem a little over a month ago, i called the Dr office they told me to come ASP. I was given antibitics just in case of infection and to help close the incision up. Calll your Dr ASP to get instructions on what to do.

Thank you everyone for the replies. There's no lump or pain, I do have some itching around the incision but I think I will call in the morning to see what I need to do.. the last thing I want is an infection. Thank you!
