A member asked:
A week after stitches were removed on surgery to index finger, the general area of the wound is now very slowly oozing yellow-ish fluid. is it ok?

Hmmmm...: A sutured wound should heal and should not be draining a yellow discharge. Be sure to have the area looked at by the doctor and get evaluated for a possible infection to be safe. Best wishes.
