Hi all, ds cut his finger on Wednesday, I feel awful, but Im not sure how as he never cried. I'm not a bad mum honestly!
Yesterday and today it's looked red and sore just around the cut, today it looks like the scab looks abit yellow coloured!
So now I'm thinking could it be impetigo? I know that tends to be more on the face but is it possible to get on other areas of the body?
I'm also wondering if it is just a cut and its gotten infected, although I have been applying the savlon cream,but I haven't put on a plaster as ds only young so wanted to keep an eye on it.
So my question is, if it's infected any tips on how to help it before I get him in to doctors Monday morning?
Thanks for any help guys.
