I cleaned and stopped the bleeding on my scraped hand. my scrape is now coated in a clear liquid. what is it and is it helping the wound heal?

Clear exudate: It is made up of various products, helpful to healing. It your injury becomes red or the exudate resembles pus you may need antibiotics. Make sure you are up to date on your tetanus/Boostrix. Keep it clean and all the best for good healing.
