They don't look bad yet. Wash them with Hydrogen peroxide and pat dry. Coat them with polysporin and bandage. Reapply polysporin and change the dressing daily.



No they are not infected but you should be cleaning with warm water and putting antiseptic on them daily once in the morning then at night before you go to bed if you get symptoms like

- Pus coming from the wounds
- Red streaking around the wounds
- A lot of Redness around the wounds (some redness is normal)
- Excess heat around the area

That's when you need to get to the doctor and be put on antibiotics. Don't worry if you get a thin watery pale yellow or clear liquid seeping from the wounds its just serous liquid and is part of the healing process.

Hope they heal up soon.



are they weeping at all?

they don't seem to be infected quite yet but soak them with salt water or diluted TCP
do this several times a day nad get some help

all the best
