Is this finger infected? *pic*

Does this look to be healing ok? Done with a carving knife whilst carving the meat on Christmas Day.

I think it's ok but it's ( obviously ) quite sore, a little warm but not hot or anything. Had a little clear discharge this morning but nothing else.

Looks ok to me. If you think it's infected soak it in warm water with some sea salt.

I'd just plaster it with antiseptic cream at night, then leave it to dry out during the day, just looks like it's healing to me

It’s ok . That is just normal inflammation around a wound. Keep it clean and dry ( inadine dressing for 48 hours from a pharmacy good if you can get it ) it’s antiseptic and dries wound out .
