Stupid cut won't heal and keeps producing clear puss
i cut myself and its not deep but it wont heal!! it won scab over just this clear stuff comes out of it. it wasnt bleeding so i left if unbandaged but the puss/clear stuff that came out would stick to me clothes and they became attached. also it hurts really bad if it is just barely touched of when i move or something. i put a bandage on it so the puss would stop adhering to my clothes and the same thing happened to the bandaid. the puss stuff stuck to the bandaid and made them became stuck together. i dont know what to do to let it heal. last night i kept the area open and moved my clothing so it wasnt touching anything and it kinda scabed over a little but the clear puss stuff kept coming out so when i put the bandaid on and then took it off this evening the scab and puss was on the bandaid and my sore is still open, painful, and producing clear puss stuff. it is pretty small and not dee at all so i dont know whats wrong. i had another cut like this one only not as bad and it healed it just took a little longer than usual cuts do and hurt a lot but this one is taking forever. thank you!!

I have the problem too. I saw doctors/dermatologists and all they can do is put me on antibiotics and wait. how long has it been already and do you still have the open cut?

This could definetley be an infection you should go to the doctor ASAP sometimes this happens to people who just barely got a cut you may need stitches but see doctor SOON ASAP

Just keep doing what you did last night - keep everything off it and let the air get to it. Try not to bend it (depending on where the cut is on your body).
The same thing happened to me when I was younger, on my knee. It would always stick to my clothing and because of that, it wouldn't heal.
Within around 2 days it should be dry and a scab forming nicely. If you see no improvements or the pus starts to turn a different colour and you experience any pain, check with a doctor incase it's the start of an infection which you might need antibiotics for.
Feel better soon.

You probably need stitches, but it maybe too late, go have it looked at.

It seems as if it is infected. Have you tried using peroxide and neosporin to heal the wound?
Normally the only time I see cuts that don't heal is when they are not treated. If you have in fact used these products and it still does what it's doing, you might want to call the local doctor's office and ask them for their best advice.
Good luck, I hope it heals.
