Causes Yellowish Discharge From The Stitches After A Circumcision?

hi, i got a circumcision a week ago. the places where the stitches are have a yellow discharge and i dont know if its pus which could mean an infection or lymph fluid. when i dab the area with a tissue after my salt water washes, its sticky but when i bring it to my nose it doesnt smell. i just would like to know if its infected.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is suggestive of wound infection. As of now apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin after with soap and water. If there is signs of infection antibiotics must be given.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
