Does this look infected ? Image included

[Starlightstarbright4]

I feel like the redness is spreading but not sure if it’s healing ?
can I ask opinions please . Will see nurse tomorrow if necessary

Draw a line around the redness and see of worse tomorrow.

Will do that thanks

Is it hot?

I’d get that looked at asap. If you cannot see a gp or nurse, go to a pharmacist tomorrow. Good luck

Yes and feels hard where it is red

Our gp is pretty good for getting seen tbh if i phone at 8 on the dot

What is it, OP?

It does look infected. The four key telltale signs are heat, pain, redness and swelling.

It’s a graze - the only thing out of that I don’t have is pain but I have an extreme high threshold for pain

DD had something like this, started as an infected spot and spread.

We ended in the A&E as even plasters caused skin irritation and more infected skin patches and she was on high antibiotics.

To try with antibiotic creams but I would definitely get a nurse to look at it and maybe get it cleaned and dressed properly.

I’d soak it in salt water than draw round the redness

I'd go to the pharmacy first. That's if it still looks like that TM if course, if it gets to twice the size in the morning then I'd phone the GP.

I think you would be as well to go to your GP surgery. It could be the case that a dressing and antibiotics will help.

Yes, infected.

Keep clean and uncovered. Use Savalon. If no improvement, GP.

Thank you .

I have drawn round it .will see how it looks in the morning

It looks much better today so going to leave it too heal

Saw nurse today . It’s not infected but prescribed iodine dressing to help it heal
