Infected scab
I fell about 2 weeks ago and have noticed the scab on my knee to be a green-yellow color with slight redness around the area. I'm also having some pain feels like bone pain when I bend my knee. Don't want to waste a trip to the dr if I'm just being a crazy hypochondriac. I've attached a pic - just copy and paste the link in your browser. any advice is appreciated

Do not "waste time". You need to see a physician as of yesterday. The infection will not go away. You will need antibiotics and possible debridement of the wound. You do NOT want this infection to go into the bone!
