A member asked:
Is it bad if i accidentally cut myself on construction equipment now scab is yellow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wound: No, not necessarily. If there is yellow pus, increasing swelling, redness, heat, tenderness or red streaking - those are problems. What was your last tetanus shot? If it has been more than 10 years or you don't know - then it should be repeated. Take care.
