Noticed A Large Keloid Across My Neck From Thyroid Surgery
I have a large keloid across my neck from thyroud surgery. I have had it for 12 years. Today a potion burst open oozing about a quarter cup of green pus followed by bleeding. There is now a large hole in the Kellie which continues to drain. Is this an emergency or can I wait a day or two to see a doctor?

Hi I would not call it an emergency but getting medical attention to it promptly s advised to properly clean it from infection and prescribe antibiotics if needed.
