I have had wounds on both elbows for several months They would break open and drain or bleed then scab over and get smaller but never heal completely During this time I have been taking very high doses of steroids both IV and oral Ihave COPD and suffered with a very bad pneumonia from January till very recently during this time I also have had dvts in my legs and pulmonary emboli At this time I still have the scab on the right elbow. About a month ago The left elbow became much redder and painful around the wound so I soaked it in warm water and applied a dressing with Neosporin for several days. About 2 weeks ago the wound had gotten very small so I left it alone Next thing I know I am leaning on my arm and I feel moistur and there is yellowish drainage dripping out of it This has continued of and on since. also Iam running a lowgrade fever off and on for about the same amount of time. Any thoughts?
