If you need to write gore once, I would suspect you're probably going to need to write gore again.

If by 'not that much' you mean like just vague descriptions of injuries and some blood, you definitely need a warning if you're suddenly going to jump up to something extreme, even if you just put a note at the top of the chapter to warn them so they can skip it if they want.
First you should ask yourself if what you're writing really has to be described in detail. If you can just imply or vaguely suggest the same thing, you don't need to have anything too extreme.

There are tags and you get the option to set Gore. So, no need to add extra warnings in the chapters because your readers are reading your book knowing what to expect.

The problem is that a lot of the time you need to depict injuries/blood but it's not necessarily extreme enough to call gore. If you don't set it you might have a karen or two complaining about the lack of a content warning for something super mild, and if you do set it then it sounds like your story is going to have real, actual gore which can turn away the readers you were looking to attract.

You can flag chapters as well as the whole book I THINK. I know you can with NSFW stuff, and should be able to with gore - or use an Author's Note to warn the reader I guess.

I think it depends on what the baseline level of your work is. If that one paragraph is brutal compared to everything else then yeah, probably better. I mean, it's like three clicks and four words, it's not an undue amount of work. The worst you'll get is people whining about it but so what? They can't exactly call you a snowflake, after all you're the one who wrote the gore in the first place.

Or you do what I did: Ask your readers if the chapter requires a warning and if so, add it. If not, don't sweat it.

I mean by not that much i mean peeling of human skin.

That doesn't matter. Just like fans you will have haters and trolls, you can't do anything about it.

Regarding your question, I think it's better to put a warning just to be sure. You can also add a "gore" tag in the description.
