What Causes Yellow Drainage At The Surgical Site?
I had surgery which left a small open wound that has yellow drainage in addition I ve developed small bug bite size itchy bumps that are spreading. What could this be? I had a skin culture that was negative but this was before the bumps arrived. Could I have an infection that shows a negative result? What could this be?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that yes it is a infection, you should at least start with neosporin local application powder and good dressing. If possible do culture and sensitivity second time.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
