    Yes you have an infection if your would is leaking pus. Some type of bacteria. You should get this checked immediately, for there is a very resistant strain of staph, sweeping our nation at present and it's very hard to kill, for it has grown resistant to most of the antibiotics on the market. Observe yourself for fever, dehydration, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. All of these are signs of increase in the infection, and indicated it could be spreading. Registered Nurse Here.

    No specialist who is worth anything is going to give you a diagnosis over the net. Keep the wound clean and see a doctor if you are worried about it.

    No, the antibiotics are working and the poison(so to speak) is making an exit. You are taking antibiotics arent you? If not, get to a doctor

    Specialist or not, that is not a good sign in anyone's book

  • Go to the doctor right now. You definately have an infection. I wouldn't risk having to go through a lot more pain than you are going through right now. Please GO SEE THE DOCTOR RIGHT NOW.
