A member asked:
Is a little bit of pus on a wound a good thing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually not: However what you are labeling as pus may be something else and normal part of healing. The healing process for wounds is not exactly pretty. Okay to get your wound checked with your regular doc.
