First of all!.!.!.just because your sore bubbles when you put peroxide on it does not mean its infected!. It just cleans it out!. I really cannot tell if it looks infected by the picture!. I would keep it cleaned out and if it does not look as though it is getting better in a day or two!.!.!.I would ask a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Putting hydrogen peroxide on a wound typically makes it bubble with white foam!. You could try putting rubbing alcohol after the hydrogen peroxide, but it stings more!. Then put some antibacterial cream like neosporin on your wound!. If things get worst then go see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
