Hello,
Green brown discharge from skin may be in relation with subcutaneous infection or inflammation with organism producing green pigments as pyocyanin or others. The usual causative organism is Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, however there can be different reasons for the same. In my clinic, after clinical examination, I recommend a culture swab report for the sensitivity pattern and best management can be figured out.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
