Onion smelling pus
The pus from my spots that I've had for about2 weeks smell like onions. Why is this?

Hi!
A bad odor from pus from any sores indicates a secondary infection. Please consult a doctor as you need to give the pus for culture and sensitivity. This will help find the organism causing the infection and the antibiotic that can treat it. Oral pills and local application of the same antibiotic can then help treat this infection. Take care!
