[|Human|] I  had a wound on my right side of forehead for the last three months. My GP prescribed Betnovate and Fucidin creams but it worked for a week or so. Now, I have noticed pus weeping time to time,specially in night time. Please help me. I do not think these creams  help to heal the wound.Thanks in advance.S.Ganagu
[|AI|]  Hi, It might be an infected sebaceous cyst on forehead, which is giving pus discharge off and on for 03 months. The discharge is usually - somewhat viscous, serosanguineous fluid (containing purulent material). With surgery, a cyst can usually be excised in its entirety. Alternatively subject pus for culture sensitivity and take an appropriate antibiotic for 5-7 days as per sensitivity report.Also, a chronic discharging pus may be a cold abscess (tuberculous), though forehead is not a common site. Smear of discharge may show acid-fast bacillus (AFB) on Z-N stain in that case. Regards
