It really depends. Pus, foul smelling yellowish cloudy liquid can be a sign of an infection, usually accompanied by redness, swelling, pain, and potentially fever (sign your body is fighting the infection). However, a little bit of "yellowish" not so pleasantly smelling liquid can be normal and part of the healing.

It is important to keep the incision part clean. If you have it available, you can buy Neosporin and apply that twice a day to the wound, don't over do it though so 2 is really enough. Also keep your penis clean, rinse it with water, chamomile tea, or dip in salt bath water for a few minutes (2-3 minutes max in the first days).

Ultimately, it is just a guideline, I cannot tell you whether it is an infection or not, as I don't see it and even if I saw it I am not a doctor myself. General rule of thumb, when it comes to guys and their dicks, they tend to see the situation more dramatic than it is. So if you do not experience any other of those symptoms and it isn't uncomfortable, it most like isn't an infection. However, if you do experience other symptoms and are afraid, the best thing is to consult a doctor, or provide a picture so we might give some "clarification" to the extent a non-doctor on the forums can.
