Infection : Call for a free clinic. You may have an infection that may require oral antibiotics or wound drainage.

Seek treatment: You should seek medical treatment. Drainage, redness, and warmth may be signs of a developing infection. If you do not have a primary care physician, then an urgent care is likely the best place to go for evaluation and treatment. Best wishes.

Bad cut: You need to have attention to that either find a subsidized clinic or explain your problem, yellow drainage ok is just normal drainage warmth most likely is just inflammation from the injury itself but a pair of eyes could tell better if its infected, don't take chances, get it looked at.
