Hi. It is good that the bleeding has stopped and the yellowish looking discharge can simply be blood fluid ( serum). Clean the area with soap and water, Wipe-dry with a cotton and apply antibiotic containing ointment or liquid. Consult a doctor if the discharge is looking like a pus , has pain and swelling and redness as you may need a prescription based oral antibiotics which a Doctor can write.
