Wound healing to Yellow-white'ish scab
I had an accident last week, i got treated at a hospital, now the wound is healing, but there is a layer of white'ish yellow covering on it which i have never seen like before..
I was prescribed an antibiotic and a painkiller...
Googling it gave some very scary results!
Is it normal? Should i visit hospital again??
Please help in getting some clarity!
Many thanks!
