1 month pp (small amount of fluid/blood leaking) - normal?

I went to the dr 2 weeks ago over this and the dr tried to tell me it was an ingrown hair.  She gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way.  Well, i'm still having a tiny amount of blood/yellowish fluid leaking.  I litterally have to wipe the area to tell there is even fluid, but still it concerns me.  Also, there is somewhat of a bad smell from the area.  Just curious if anyone else is still having fluid leaking.  I've just been cleaning with soap...I think I'll call the dr. again on Monday.

  • Leaking is fine- it is completely normal. I was leaking blood then yellow then clear for about a month afterwards.  The smell is what i'm concerned about, there shouldn't be any odor as odor could be an infection.  Just check it out with your doctor to make sure. Believe me, I was freaking out over the fluid as I didn't understand that being normal and I saw many different doc's and they all said the same thing.  Just make sure its dry and the gauze is changed frequently.
