hey i fell about a week ago and i had pus then i scrubbed it and all but the skin around the scab id pink and it looks like a target sign so is it infected?
Answer:
That is inflammation around the wound . it is definitly a sign of a minor infection...probably staph... if you clean it with an antiseptic and bandage it bacitracin or Neosporin..the redness should go away fairly quickly
It sounds like it might be infected. If it's warm to the touch or hurts really bad, it probably is infected. If you see any red streaks coming from the wound, you need to be seen by a doctor right away. Otherwise, you should try soaking it in hydrogen peroxide for a while (will hurt if it is infected) and then covering it with neosporin and a bandage.
