I had a fracture surgery 2 months ago but now when i scratched at my injured site a small layer of skin got pulled and after then it started producing puss and transperant type serum and sometime blood. Its been 6 days Today i done crp it is in the normal range 2ui/ml Is it any type of infection or bone related infection or its just a skin irritation . Can a skin irritation cause puss and serum discharge. And if crp is normal then there is no infection or what?

Yes In xray looks like Bone Infection - Osteomyelitic changes and Fracture site is not uniting . There is bone loss also . Better to treat it as a Bone infection . Need CT scan for further evaluation.
