Actually, it can be normal to have part of your incision pop open and stuff ooze out.... I have a hematoma under my incision, which is, apparently, a blood clot under it, and my doctor said it would be a good thing if my incision opened and it started leaking. Just be sure to call if it starts to hurt or you get feverish.... Mine is quite large, but I think you can have little ones, too. I'm just worried about how gross my scar is going to be later from so much of my incision opening...

But, holy moly, you really sound like you're having a hard time doing nothing- I know the feeling, but please say you'll stop cleaning!!!!! Take care of yourself!
