Does this burn look ok?

One week old burn. At first it blistered then a green covering developed.
Accidentally got it wet and a small amount of green thick pus came out.
Am I right in thinking it’s not infected ? It’s just my body healing .

How big is it? On what part of the body? What caused it?

Generally green is not a good colour.

I think it is a bit infected. But it looks OK and as if on the mend. Maybe some antiseptic. IANAD.

Puss is always a sign of infection.

If it's infected, it will feel hot and the area around it will start to redden.

If you keep that clean and lightly covered, it looks like it will be okay.

I think you could probably get treatment at a pharmacy. You need something to clean it out and dress it to help drain the gunk and promote healing.
