I have yellow stuff coming out of a cut on my foot?!


Question: I have yellow stuff coming out of a cut on my foot!?
I cut my foot in italy about 4 weeks ago and i had to have 6 stitches!. I was not taken to hospital straight away and it was just cleaned with antibacterial wipes so there was 6 hours of the wound being open but under a plaster before i went to hospital!. The hospital gave me three 500mg antibiotics tablets which i took!. I then came home and after i had had my stitches out it began to look infected so i was put on another course of antibiotics for a week of 250 mg tablets 4 times a day!.
There is still yellowy pus stuff coming out of the wound but it is not too bad!. when will it heal!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
4 weeks!?!? It should have started healing, and should not be pussing!.!.!.
You have to think that whatever is coming out of your cut is more than likely also in your blood system, I would go to the hospital!.
Yellow pus is NOT good!.
Clean it with water, Cover it with a clean dry bandage and if the space around the cut on your foot is still relatively red, and swollen I would go to the doctor, also if there are (It looks like) little snakes of red veins (they look like little red spider veins) coming from this wound you more than likely have blood poisoning, and if thats the case it can kill you!.

Be very careful with this cut, your foot is a dirty place!.

Hope this helps,

Sounds like it may be infected again (or maybe it was never treated correctly in the first place)!.
You should go and see your GP, who, in theory should take a swab for culture to determine the bug causing the infection in order to treat it correctly!. The wound will not heal unless the infection clears!.
Sounds yuccy!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Difficult to say but it sounds like it might still be infected!. You need to go see your GP or practice nurse who might decided to do a swab of the yellow stuff!. You might need different anti-biotics again but it's very difficult to say without someone seeing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Feet sometimes take a while to heal because you are walking around on them!. Do you keep it covered!? Maybe it has become reinfected!. Also maybe you need different antibiotics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should go back to the Dr!. it sounds like it could still be infected!. I would just hate to see you have to get you foot amputated!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If its not too bad pain wise, just keep it clean, bath it with warm water, repeat as necessary and put clean dressings on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
