What Causes Green Discoloration Around An Open Wound On The Knee?
I scraped my knee three weeks ago and it had gotten infected 3 days later. i then continued to go to the doctors in the hospital after 2 more days we thought it was infected and they said to take a oral antibiotic and keep it covered. took the oral antibiotic for a whole week and covered as well. didnt see very good results by the time i finished my oral antibiotic so we decided to see my family doctor. she prescribed me an antibiotic like neospirin and told me to apply 2 times a day. for 14 days. today is the 4th day and there’s still a little spot where it seems to be open and green stuff around it. and idk if its healing or if its infected and getting worse
