Suggest Remedy For Yellow Pus From Knee And Pain To Bend
I scraped both of my knee yesterday afternoon walking on the side walk. When I got home I washed both out with soap and water, and let them breathe. When I went to bed I put a non- adherent sterile pad on both knees and when I woke up one of them was healing perfectly fine and the other scrape had a yellow puss coming out of it. It hurts to bend my leg and to put pressure on it. Should I be getting this checked out?

Hello,
I can assure you that it is not pus. it takes minimum five day for pus formation so whatever you are seeing is not pus but plasma. You can apply antiseptic cream with clean hands. Some amount of pain is normal with such abrasions.
if there is increase in pain then you can show it to your physcian. I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
