Ive had a wound on my knee from falling on a sidewalk and skinned it badly. I didnt go to a doctor because I figured I didnt need one and it was going to be fine. Its day 3 with this wound and its starting to turn green. Im not really concerned, Id just like to know if its infected, its normal and stuff like that. Whenever it gets wet or when it rubs against my leggings it comes off when its really close and it feels kind of like vaseline and bleeds a bit. Its on my lower knee and is about 3 cm wide and 1 cm tall. Ive also felt a little pain in my entire left leg, and also want to know what thats all about. Advice on what i should do to treat it and if that green stuff is bad or not? Thanks.
Dear, If I would be at your place first thing I would do is show my wound to a doctor nearby. The green colored thing oozing out of your wound is pus, which means infection. Infections need to be taken care of properly as it will otherwise either heal late & may lead to increase in the pain & other co-morbidities. You should first & foremost clean the wound with detail/salon & put some topical antibiotics & start an antibiotic course which your doctor will prescribe.
