Yellowish Wound On The Hand. Biopsy Done To Rule Out Skin Cancer. Concerned
I had a biopsy on my arm 4 days ago. The center of the wound is yellow (but not runny) I put alcohol twice a day for two days. as instriucted. I apply vaseline twice a day now. The yellow part shows when I use the vaseline more than with the alcohol?? The skin around the lesion is reddened. It was a biopsy for skin cancer . I have NOT received the results of biopsy. I do Not think it was cancerous.

Hi there, Watch out for pus formation and report to nurse or doctor if it looks infected. The pus may be yellowish or greenish in colour if it gets infected. Continue to take the aseptic precautions and cleaning as instructed. Lets hope biopsy report is clear and the wound heals up fast. Take care
