Infected hand?

[Eppia]

Hello,
This is on DS' hand. He cut it yesterday and has no idea what on. Not sure if I'm just being silly but this is okay isn't it? It's a bit redder than yesterday. We're going away tomorrow for a week. I don't want to bother the doctor with something so minor, which is likely to heal by itself.

DS says it's not especially painful, he has no temp and says the only thing is that it feels slightly 'tingly/numb'.

The pen is mine, which I've just done to check there's no spreading. Unlikely to get an appointment today anyway...

If you came into my pharmacy I would tell you it didn’t look infected and to pop some savlon on.

It doesn't look terrible, I'd treat that at home with antiseptic and see how it gets on.

Thank you!
It's actually DH who is worrying! He's convinced that red around the outside = bad. I am trying to reassure him that it's normal unless accompanied by lots of pain and it's spreading.

I'd go to the doctors or a walk in centre tbh.

I've just had an infected foot which looked like that. It wasn't spreading and I had no temperature. I treated it with antiseptic for several days but it just wouldn't heal.

Went to the walk in centre and they said I needed a weeks worth of antibiotics. It's finally got a normal scab on it and I think it's healing now.
