A member asked:
I was walking on sunday fell and skinned my knee. today this clear fluid start oozing out. what is it? & should i go see my dr about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Clear fluid is OK. The signs of infection are pus coming from the area or increase in pain, redness and tenderness around the abrasion. If the latter signs occur then you should definitely see your doctor.
