Natural Process: When there is injury to our skin, inflammation occurs which means the area becomes red, warm, tender and with swelling. The swelling occurs under the skin layers and then can leak out of an open wound. The fluid contains water, protein, electrolytes and cells that give it color. This is a natural process and aids in healing. As it heals, the drainage will decrease. Keep it covered.

Deep cuts in hand: Can lacerate tendons, nerves and blood vessels just below the skin. Partial lacerations are possible too and the flexor tendons lie in a sheath , a tube of tissue that has fluid in it, and cuts to the sheath may occur even without tendon damage. Stiches can also have retained pieces and the body forms a small pocket of reactive tissue, or there can be a low grade infection. Seek medical attention.
