Why does yellow fluid come out after a wound has formed a scab?
Disease description:
A few days ago, I scraped my hand, and after the wound formed a scab, it began to discharge yellow fluid. Why does a wound produce yellow fluid after scabbing?

Dr. Liu Wan
Yellow discharge from a wound after scab formation is generally caused by inflammatory infection. Local disinfection with alcohol or iodophor can help achieve anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. If there are no obvious discomfort symptoms, the discharge may be due to normal tissue fluid leakage, which usually does not require special treatment and will gradually heal over time.
