How Can Mucus Discharge From Wounds Be Prevented?
I recently skinned my knee. I ve had the wound covered and I have cleaned it out with hydrogen peroxide for two days. I ve used triple antibiotic ointment. But yesterday and today I noticed that there was a mucus like substance on the wound. What is it and what can I do to go away?

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.
I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having discharge from the wound. This indicates infection of the wound and requires treatment by the use of antibiotic ointment. Along with this daily cleaning of the wound and dressing is necessary for early healing of the wound.
Hope this information is helpful.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
