A member asked:
I think i have herpes and there is yellowish sticky mucus stuff coming out of the sores what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes simplex: May either be inflammatory exudate from the inflammation caused by the herpes eruption or may be secondary infection, or something entirely different. If it continues without clearing go and see a doctor.
