I have a cut on my leg and it is leaking clear fluid. does this mean i have an infection?

Have it checked: If there is a cut and drainage involved, you need to have it checked out because left untreated it can lead to an infection. Make sure you keep the cut bandaged and clean until you are seen by a physician.
