Cut that might be infected
I fell over whilst ice skating on Saturday just gone, cut and bruised both knees but one now is still swollen a bit and the cut has pus and had turned greeny yellow and is red around it. I’ve been putting antiseptic cream on but still hurts to walk on a lot. I don’t know if it’s infected or not and what to do if it is
