Why do i have white fluid coming out of my wound?

Pus?: A wound can drain a clear, straw colored fluid which can be normal but white cloudy fluid usually means the wound is infected. You should see a doctor and have them examine the wound. You might need antibiotics.

Natural Process: When there is injury to our skin, inflammation occurs which means the area becomes red, warm, tender and with swelling. The swelling occurs under the skin layers and then can leak out of an open wound. The fluid contains water, protein, electrolytes and cells that give it color. This is a natural process and aids in healing. As it heals, the drainage will decrease. Keep it covered.
