Wound closure with glue

Sorry posting on here for traffic as I’m a bit worried and not sure what to do.
Had a laparoscopy last week with dissolvable stitches internally and then glue externally to close up the incision. On one of my incisions the glue has started to come away and bleeding a tiny bit from the incision.
Does this mean that the glue hasn’t worked and my wound has started to open up?

It’s not bleeding loads. I’ve cleaned it up and put a dressing on it. I’ll check on the wound tomorrow morning and call the docs if I’m concerned.
Anyone else been through anything similar? Will it be fine as it is?

Yeah, it doesn't last long. I'd prob put a few steri strips on it.
