Weeping Wounds: A Dermatologist's Perspective — Key Highlights
In this table, we cover the basics of wound care, such as reducing bioburden, reducing edema and maintaining a moist wound environment. There are 2 basic types of wounds: (1) red, raw open wounds that are missing skin and oozing liquid and (2) closed dry wounds where skin edges are touching all along the cut and held together with stitches, staples, or glue.

Background & Case Analysis
Certainly any wound that starts draining pus, has a foul odor, or gives you a fever is an immediate warning sign that warrants prompt medical evaluation. The last detail is redness. Bleeding is a natural way for the body to clean out bacteria from the wound by expelling it, whereas discharge or pus can often mean that the wound is infected. Serous drainage is a clear to yellow fluid that leaks out of a wound.
Its slightly thicker than water. Its the fluid that makes your bandage look and feel wet. This type of wound drainage is a normal part of your bodys healing process.
Too much serous fluid is a sign of an infection. So our objectives for this lecture is to distinguish the basic principles for wound healing, also known as moon bed preparation. And once you prepare the moon bed, then you can choose the correct topical treatment. And we're going to do so using a case example. Additional perspective on this subject is examined in Imperial Sugars Shipping 73. Understanding the cause of the swelling along with the healing process will lead to selecting proper interventions.
