Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms are suggesting me that you may be suffering from a cellulitis following a cut of unknown cause.The symptoms of swelling and discharge from the wound is suggesting that you may be having infection of the wound.

For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the area clean and dry
2.Take oral antibiotics like Tab Bactoclav, 625 mg, twice daily for five days.
3.Tab Lyzer D to reduce the swelling and the pain.
Thank you.
