HELP: i have a cut and it might be infected... what to do??!
Question: like 2 weeks ago i was shaving with one of those cheap razors and just above my ankle got cut,
i didn't notice until it started to bleed and sting cause of the soap,
after that my mom put some Iodine (first aid antiseptic) and bacitracin (first aid anitbiotic ointment) and a band-aid,
and because of the band-aid it was kinda itching and i was kinda scratching with the band-aid on, i had i wear a band-aid cause i have to wear long socks for school, so in the afternoon i would take it off to clean it, the band-aid would get stuck on my skin so i have to pull to get it off and one day i got little bumps and like little cuts because of the band-aid and now i'm not using the band-aid,
now the big cut dried up and the dried up thing fell off, but it still itches and its all red and kinda still has bumps
what can i do??
i'm still cleaning it with peroxide, iodine and antibiotic
beacuse of a cut like can i get my leg or that part cut off??
what can i do???

If it is swollen and puffy it might be infected. Go see your docor. they will give you antibiotics
