I skinned my knee most 3 life ago and it was perfectly fine up until this morning...when I noticed it was dripping pus. I've done everything to take care of it. The ichor is yellow-ish white - not clear. And it hurts really bad. I can't straigten my leg out. I don't want to go to the ER and move for nothing...I hate the ER...plus I hit a I hit 3 month old..siting in the ER will not be recreation if I don't hit to go. Any advice? Thanks

Thoroughly clean and bathe the harm with a warm liquid and salt solution (or Detol Antiseptic) as often as possible. As painful as it is ......... try and remove any puss. You'll be ok in a day or two

Wash the area with an anti-bacterial soap and counterbalance it with a clean, parched dressing. Don't start applying ointments just yet. Once it drys, clean the area twice a day using soap and liquid and yield it open to air. You crapper take Empirin to lessen the discompose and reduce any reddness. Soap and liquid do wonders for secondary injuries. Godloveya.
