question: I smashed my middle finger with the garage door 6 days ago. The finger is bruised and cut across the cuticle at the top of the nail. I have been able to drain the blood from under the nail by pressing down on the nail. The fluid drains from the cut and from the sides of the nail. The swelling and bruising is diminishing daily. However, today the fluid is clear and yellow. I have been using an antibacterial spray and have cleaned it with peroxide the last two days. Is the wound infected?
