A member asked:
I have yellowish-white drainage if i squeeze an incision that has healed over, surgery was in february, is this an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it checked: Yellow-white drainage sounds like pus, so you should certainly have a doctor check the incision site to see if there is a pocket of infection there. It may need to be re-opened to drain it, or you may need pill antibiotics.
