Brown cellulitis: Brown colored pus with cellulitis usually implies blood has been mixed in the wound. Red blood cells turn brownish in color once they begin to break down in a wound. You definitely need to see a physician or wound specialist and allow them to take a culture of the wound and prescribe for you an antibiotic.
