A member asked:
Pin sticking out of finger from surgery, have had mrsa and on antibiotics still for reoccurrence, 2weeks til pin removal and now pus coming out by pin?

Call your doctor: This sounds like something that needs to be addressed now given the complicated conditions you describe (having a bad 'bug' -- MRSA -- and being instrumented -- a metal pin or 'hardware' in place). That needs to be assessed by the surgeon that did the work. Hope you can call today.
