Suggest remedy for pus discharge from wound scab
Patient: Hi Doctor. I have an abrasion from a car accident 2 weeks ago that looks like a gash. However it is not like a deep cut. I think an object must have hit it hard but did not penetrate too deep as I was wearing jeans. It's about 3cm long and 1/4cm wide. It seemed to be healing and there is even a thick scab on the surface. But I noticed a little pus coming out from the sides over the past 2 days. I am using Bernadine to clean and I leave it open without covering. Please advise if i have any worries. I will try to send a picture. Doctor: Hello and welcome...Don't worry buddy its OK...the pus are the debris and it should be out from there so there is rapid healing...When the pus accumulates then healing process halts...And its good to wash with antiseptic solution...Hope you'd understand...See you back in good health next time...bye and take care .
