It doesn't sound infected, but its still a good idea to put something on it to clean it out. Some sort of disinfectant.

If it's not gaping or anything, try some peroxide. That should help to clean it. If it fizzes white, then it means it's cleaning out the bacteria. However, if it is gaping, try good old-fashion soap and water. Uh, but that's just advice from me. You'd probably be better off forgetting what I just said.

no peroxide. never. just gently wash w/ soap & water. put lots of antibacterial cream on it to keep the scap soft, so it doesnt crack. no stick gauze. change the dressing every two days.

What color was it oozing?
Sounds like you probably just disturbed the healing process and keeping it clean and dry should sort things out.

I am glad it is start to heal up, hope the cleaning goes well.
Okay I am just wondering what the problem with peroxide is? I use peroxide on everything, it seems to work for me.
