What Does Yellow Scabs On Nipple Implies?
Long story short, I got a second degree burn on the edge of my nipple. It blistered and has now scabbed over with a yellow kind of color. My concern is 1. does the yellow scab signify infection? and 2. is it a possibility that burning such a sensitive area will result is permanent nerve damage in the area? Thank you

Hi
1. not always yellow scab indicates pus it can also be serous discharge but it is better to use onti t- bact to avoid infection
2. No it does not cause any permanent damage
