Hello,
In some cases, after surgery that includes the skull base, there may be some blood under the skin and into the sinuses. It requires the necessary attention for the reason of possible infection. Antibiotics may be necessary to be used, you should inform your Surgeon for these issues.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
