Picture - healing scab or dead tissue?

[LadyBirr13]

Hi all, my four year old had an accident with the shower door a couple of weeks ago, she injured it pretty badly and has been on 2 sets of antibiotics for infections.
Yesterday the scab darkened a lot, and now it looks very black. I'm now panicking it's dead tissue and have been googling the worse stuff 🤦🏼‍♀️
Does this look like dead tissue or just dried blood on a scab?

Anyone have any experience of black wounds?

Are you saying this is a 4 year olds finger ?

Looks very sore, can you phone your dr, see if you need to see an out of hours dr

@VictoriaBun yes her thumb sorry, why 😖

Is the redness hot to the touch. Draw around the red in pen and monitor to see if it grows/spreads. If it does then go to a and e.

I would take her to a walk in centre, that doesn’t look healthy. Poor thing

That looks quite normal for that type of accident, my DS had a comparable mishap a couple of years ago and it looked quite similar harrowing for a while... Keep it clean and well moisturised (to stop the skin cracking around the scab) . If it starts getting hot or 'weeping', get it checked out straightaway.

@LadyMonicaBaddingham thanks that's calmed me down. I'm a wreck. Was it also a bit black? Thank you for your response.

Thanks for responding and the advice all , much appreciated @Newearringsplease @Atalune @FrappeLatte

infected, that yellow stuff under the nail is puss.
needs draining, then regular soaking, and antibiotics.
