Took a big fall yesterday, scab is turning yellow and stings, what should I do?
I took a tumble on my bike yesterday and I scratched up my knee, elbow, and shoulder.
Yesterday I put peroxide on it, in which it turned very white and bubbly (like normal) then it started turning yellow from the peroxide.
I put on antibiotic after and I think it was helping?
Took a shower, put antibiotic on again and went to bed.
Woke up today, then antibiotic is dried I think now, and my scabs look really yellow, what happened to it?
Also, what should be my next plan of action - should I put on more peroxide or more antibiotic? Thank you

Scabs that are seeping WHITE BLOOD CELLS turn yellow...you are not losing red blood cells. Keep it CLEAN and DRY...use the antibiotic and bandages

If I were you, I would just leave it alone. The scab is probably yellow because of the peroxide. If you think it is really infected, which it probably isn't, you should go see a doctor.
