Noticed Orange Coloured Puss And Lumpiness
I recently poured some quick dry wet concrete that seemed to have a high concentration of lime it. It gave 2nd and 3rd degree burns diagnosed by my emergency room doc. Recently one of the 3rd degree burned areas became raised and full of puss. The puss is orange in color and clumpy what does this mean?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having bacterial infection giving cellulitis and pus formation.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5-7 days.
Important is to go for proper dressing with proper cleaning the wound, preferably done by your doctor.
If dressing is not properly done then there will be delayed healing with formation of scar.
Ok and take care.
