pus
Wound's yellow fluid
Pus is the thick yellowish-white fluid that forms at sites of infection—a mixture of dead white blood cells, bacteria, and tissue debris.
It accumulates in wounds, abscesses, and pimples.
The wound was oozing pus.
When pus builds up in an enclosed space, it may need to be drained.
