I had a drainless TT performed 5 wks ago. A stitch popped in my bb and it got infected. Clindamycin had no effect, my bb kept having necrosis and oozing. When PS went to pull the stitch he found a seroma which has been draining from an open wound in my bb. No improvement. Yesterday LOTS of green discharge is coming from by bb (see photo). No smell no fever no pain. Now on Cipro and had culture done. Results in 48 hours and see my PS in 4 days. Opinions on what is causing the green discharge?
