Bump Filled With Pus In Cut, Applying Bacitracin. Should I Pop And Squeeze It?
My daughter cut her foot last week in the yard, it wasn't really bleeding. I cleaned it, applied bacitracin and bandaged it. She took the bandage off a day or two later and it looked fine. She just showed me her foot and there is a 1/2 inch bump filled with pus in the cut. Should I pop it and squeeze out the pus or just apply bacitracin again?

hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
every pus should be drained
but it should be drained under sterile condition
visit doctor near you
if no assistance available then drain it totally under aseptic precaution
continue dressing , keep wound dry , take antibiotic
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com
