Hello,
The yellowish color mean that there is an infection. I recommend using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream. I also suggest anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation and pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
