Question: Cut my leg while shaving 2 nights ago. Still bleeding?

Well Em, I think it's infected. If the band-aid is sticking to the wound, pulling the band-aid off may be reopening the wound. There IS something you can do, if you haven't already done so; use basitration ointment. That's an anti-bacterial ointment that helps wounds heal faster and without sticking to band-aids.
There are other ointments that are basically the same thing: CVS has a "Triple Antibiotic Ointment" and there's Neosporin (+ pain relief) that all do the same thing. Being prone to hurting myself, I keep plenty on hand. Wounds heal much quicker and cleaner with the ointment than without.
Have you ever been tested for diabetes? Diabetics can have a lot of problems with sores on arms and legs that won't heal. Lymph fluid is basically yellow, but the brown part of it is a little troubling. Either way, it really shouldn't keep going for this long.
