Wounds oozing yellow fluid?

In daily life, we will inevitably encounter various small wounds, such as scratches and abrasions. Sometimes, these wounds may ooze yellow liquid, which is actually a self-protection mechanism of the wound. Medically, it is called exudate or pus, which is mainly composed of plasma, white blood cells, necrotic tissue, bacteria, and other components. If the wound keeps oozing yellow water and does not heal, we need to take some measures to deal with it.

What is the reason for yellow water to flow from the wound?

The yellow liquid is mainly composed of plasma, white blood cells, necrotic tissue, and bacteria, and is medically called exudate or pus. When the body is traumatized, the immune system will respond quickly, transporting nutrients and immune cells to the wound through blood flow to help repair damaged tissues and resist the invasion of foreign pathogens. In this process, yellow exudate may be produced.

Small method to deal with yellow water discharge from wounds

Initial cleaning: When you find that the wound is oozing yellow water, you should immediately use clean water or saline to gently clean the wound to remove surface dirt and secretions. Be careful to use a clean towel or gauze, and avoid rubbing the wound hard to avoid aggravating the wound damage or causing pain.

Proper disinfection: After cleaning the wound, the wound should be disinfected with an appropriate disinfectant to prevent infection. Commonly used disinfectants include iodine tincture. When disinfecting, you should follow the doctor's instructions to avoid excessive use or improper use that may cause damage to the wound.

Use silver ion foam dressing: Silver ion foam dressing is a wound dressing that combines the antibacterial effect of silver ions with the advantages of foam dressing in absorbing exudate. It can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and reduce the risk of infection, while absorbing wound exudate, keeping the wound dry, and promoting wound healing.

Use silver ion foam :

First, evaluate the wound, including the size, depth, infection, etc. of the wound. Then, clean and disinfect the wound. Next, choose a suitable silver ion foam dressing, making sure that the dressing can completely cover the wound and have good contact with the wound. Fix the dressing on the wound to avoid looseness and wrinkles. Change the dressing regularly according to the wound condition and doctor's advice. Usually, the silver ion foam dressing needs to be changed every 2-3 days, and the specific replacement time should be determined according to the healing condition of the wound and the degree of infection.

In daily care?

Pay attention to diet conditioning, increase the intake of high-quality protein, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, so as not to irritate the wound and affect healing. Also, maintain adequate sleep and rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and strenuous exercise, so as not to affect wound healing.

Although yellow water discharge from wounds is a common wound problem, as long as we take the correct treatment methods and care measures, we can effectively promote wound healing.
