Hi,
It seems that there might be having abscess or pustule formation and now it bursted open producing yellow and res discharge.
Clean the part properly and apply antibiotic cream.
Continue with antibiotic prescribed by your doctor.
Gradually it will be healed up after infection is alright.
Ok and take care.
