Wound stuff coming out of it trying to find out if it might b infected?

Possibly: A clear discharge from a wound is not likely to be an infection. However if you see cloudy discharge, redness or swelling around a wound it can be a sign of infection. Application of a topical antibiotic ointment may help until you can see your doctor.
