I put clear Bacitracin ointment on my infected abrasion wound. I said infected because the area around the wound is swollen, warm, and tender to touch. The Bacitracin eventually turns into pus-like yellow. Did the Bacitracin just turn into pus?
If I leave it even further until dry, it forms a film-like coating on the wound. What is this film-like coating? Should I remove it?

Its combining with the drainage. Neosporin is the best ointment to use because as its commercial says it really does help heal faster. You should probably clean it good with warm water, put oint on and cover it at least twice a day.
Should I scrape off the yellow film?
