I am 17 years old male. I got my partial toenail removed on saturday. The doctor advised to change the dressing on monday. But when I get the dressing changed by healthcare worker. It started bleeding a lot. To stop bleeding he applied pressure over the surgery which caused me a lot of pain. And i'm fearful how I will change the second dressing.

Dried and clotted blood from somewhat raw or infected wound gets stuck to dressing material like dressing gauze or surgical cotton . Qualified doctor or an experienced nurse generally knows this job well. It has to be made wet by any sterile dressing liquid or saline.
