Suggest Remedy For Redness And Swelling Of A Open Wound With Discharge
I have a wound about 3 centimeters across that is open and leaking clear liquid down my leg. The weeping is constant. I have no pain. The area is red and a bit swollen aroung the wound.. I have been cleaning it with surgical scrub soap that I have,, But the weepings continues.. will this heal on its own? Or should I be concerned that it might be mrsa?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the hysotroy is suggestive of septic wound and there must be some foreign body inside and may need debridement with antibiotic with complete surgical care and this may not heal its own, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
