A member asked:
Could use expert help with why it pus after dermabond?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: As with any surgery, infection is the most common complication. Because dermabond seals the incision, any small amount of bacteria trapped underneath can result in an infection. The infection will result in pus and continue unless the pus is drained and removed.
