Does this graze look infected?

I grazed my leg last Thursday it seems to be healing okay but the scab has gone a bit green and wet today, it’s also red round it. It’s warm to the touch but not very. It’s not swollen or painful. I don’t know if it’s worth asking anyone about it tomorrow.

Ouch. Draw a circle round the red ring with a Sharpie just incase to see if it spreads and note down the time.

If it's hot then quite possibly infected, have you been keeping it clean? Or just letting it air?, I'd put some germolene on a non stick dressing and leave it on overnight and see how it looks in the morning.

Any flu like symptoms hot foot it to A&E.
