When you have a wound, it may produce pus if it gets infected. Pus can be pretty gross to deal with, as it's a combination of dead cells, dead tissue, and bacteria that the body is trying to eliminate in order to heal. You can help your body get rid of pus by cleaning it out using clean and sterile supplies. However, if your wound is not healing and is still producing a lot of pus, it’s a good idea to get some medical help. Your doctor or nurse will be able to assess and treat the wound and can tell you how to successfully get the wound to heal.

If your wound has become infected and is producing pus, it’s important to keep it clean so it can heal properly. A few times a day, hold a warm washcloth against your wound to help reduce inflammation. After a few minutes, gently wipe the surface to clean any pus that might have leaked out. Then, clean the area with soap and water. Make sure you clean your cloth each time to keep your wound sterile. Never squeeze your wound, since this can push pus deeper inside and increase the risk of further infection. If you notice a large amount of pus, abscesses or dark coloring around your wound, or fever, go to your doctor for treatment. They may drain your wound or prescribe antibiotics to fight the infection. For more tips from our Medical co-author, including how to soak your wound if you don’t have a washcloth, read on.
