[edit] Which

Which exudate is the clear, oily orange liquid that dries (or possibly coagulates) into crystalline forms similar in texture to coagulated blood?

Judging by the color, it could be fibrinous exudate containing high protein as well as lipids. Drying part may be just dehydration as a result of which, super-saturation is achieved at some point resulting is coagulation and gradual percipitaiton of components.--132.198.74.205 21:16, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah that makes sense. I tend to find it coming out of scratched rashes, as well as chronic wounds.

Im being redirected here from transudate. a transudate is not an exudate how may we sort this out?
