Gruesome pic trigger warning is this infected ?

I cut myself on a can of tuna on Friday night it bled like I have never seen before as it’s on the knuckle it kept reopening.

As it’s covid and my central London hospital will be mental on a Friday night I didn’t go but realise I probably should’ve got it glued or something usually I’m careful to clean cut and cover them but as I was so desperate to stop the bleeding I had to mess with it a lot putting pressure on it with tissue washing recovering just desperate not to go to hospital id had a few alcoholic drinks as well it hasn’t bled since Saturday morning but it looks awful it’s black and extremely swollen has what feels like fluid blisters either side of it but is not red nor weeping but I am worried that the fluid blisters I can feel are probably filled with puss.

I’m gonna post some pics they’re not the best as my phones broken and am waiting for a new one to be delivered.

I recently did similar with a plate. Went to minor injuries and they basically butterfly stitched it then dressed it.

Do you have somewhere you can get Steri-strips?

It looks like it needs cleaning and steri strips. Doesn't look infected. If you are unable to do it yourself go to minor injuries.
