Is There Something To Be Worried About The The Yellow Layer In My Wound?

I fell from my bike and sustained a few injuries on my hand. I cleaned them up and applied soframacin , covered them with gauge bandage for that night. I removed the bandage the next day i.e today and cleaned the wound again. My wounds are moist and a yellow layer is present on them. I am also taking antibiotic cefixine. Is it puss or natural healing way.Its not tender but a bit red and i am not feeling any high temperature. What should be my course of action now ??

the yellow layer is consolidated necrotic pus which should be removed. You might not be having fever because of taking antipyretic medications. there is a chance that pus may get collected under th yellow layer. A healthy wound is red or brown when dry. kindly approach a doctor for removal.
