Got a bad case of roadrash after a mountain bike accident.  Cleaned the wound out with peroxide on site of crash.  When I got home, cleaned wound again with soap (twice).  Covered wound with Johnson and Johnson (Compeed) adhesive pads, the kind used to treat burns and blisters.  There is a lot of redish almost clear discharge coming from under the bandages.  I dont believe the wound is infected because I cleaned it out really well.  Is this discharge normal?  My theory is that it is my bodys way of trying to make a scab but it cant because I am keeping the wound covered.
Thanks to ChatDoctorI can understand your concern whenever injury to any part of body, body mechanism will try to get heal themselves here you did good thing of cleaned wound immediately with antiseptic solution, so contamination with bacteria is very, very minimal clear discharge from wound is wooing from the swollen tissue at injury .it is normal process of mechanism, so don't worry, you have done good job, but I would like to have antibiotic like definite 200 mg and anti-inflammatory like cello plus to prevent complications for 3 days don't worry continue Chat Doctor. Ok
