Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Yes it could be pus. You can distinguish fro the overlying skin color. Pus is usually yellowish in color while fresh blood will be red in color which will later change into brownish black color. Area clears itself after pus is removed provided that the area is kept clean. Don't touch it with dirty hands.Apply polyfax plus ointment over it twice a day. It will gradually heal.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow

Wishing you good health.
