A member asked:
Skin around a healed cut is green. could it be infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: If the skin surrounding the cut was bruised - this could be due to a stage of bruise healing. If there is purulent, green drainage from the wound -that could be a serious skin infection.
