The wound dressing seems to be getting a yellow and green coloring on it after day 6 of my operation. Has anyone else experienced this colour drainage etc on their wound dressing.?
the dressing is still completely dry, secure and sealed.
I tried to upload a picture but its says file to big.

Possibly leaking serous fluid, but may be infected. If at all sore with puffy flesh around get it checked ASAP
