Question:
Fell and now i have pus on knee?
i was ridding my dirtbike and i went for a 20 foot jump(thats how bad the fall was) and my knee pad slipped off(only one of the cords was holding it in place) and i got a scrape that lokked more like a simple burn to me barely any bleeding if any(i dont know cus i didnt check it out till 6 hours later) and now(5 days later) i realised it had pus in it. i dint wash it or anything. the area around it is like a reddish pink and i cant feel it so i want to know if it is infected and what can i do about it? any home remedies are welcome k
Answers:
Pus generally means it's infected, the redness around it leads me to believe that as well. You really should see a doctor but considering you want home remedies, you need to get the pus out - maybe use a CLEAN needle to make an opening to drain the pus, wash the wound out very well with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, then place neosporin and a band-aid on it. Good Luck.
