Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I scraped my knee pretty bad about a month ago and the scab that formed fell off prior to the scrape healing fully, about two weeks ago. Now, a blister formed in part of the tissue that’s healing. There’s a yellowishness to the fluid but I’m not sure if it’s just the light or a sign of infection. Should I open the blister and try cleaning it?

Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. No never try to puncture the blister...it needs to be done under aseptic precautions.... barring which it would increase the symptoms.. increasing healing period. looking at the duration &course of your symptoms...there is large chance of infection ..which needs antibiotic course. Consult your family physician for suitable choice. Thanks
