What Causes Yellow Discharge From Ripping Of Blister Due To Sun Burn?
I have a bad sun burn on my chest. I think it was finally healing but when I went to take off my shirt the other day I ripped off the entire layer of my burn. Now it is a huge blister that has yellow discharge coming out of it. I m not sure if it s my body healing itself or early signs of an infection. Please advise.

you have history of sun burn..the yellow discharge from the wound area indicates the early signs of infection if that area is tender(pain on touch).sometime the oedema in the wound cause this yellow discharge ..\
keep that area clean ...use anti biotic cream like polyfax or fucidic acid,,use painkiller if pain is there,,use anti allergic if there is itching in the wound..hope it will be cured soon..if any queries you can contact me...thanks
