A member asked:

Gential wart scab fell off but now a thick layer of pus is beneath.why? i thought scab falling off was a good thing.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pus is infection: It is possible that there has developed some infection under the scab. You should see a doctor and have this evaluated.
