“Does this look infected? ”
I had surgery last week for a cyst removal. I’m wondering if it looks infected.

Very difficult to answer from a picture, my advice is to see your doctor

That looks like a very minor localized wound infection. It should heal without any significant issues with just keeping it clean.
it look concerning, schedule follow up with your surgeon or primary care physician.
Based on the picture, the area doesn't seem infected. The picture is really close and it doesn't show much so submitting a different picture would be helpful.
That incision does NOT look infected.It could use moisturizer
including white lotion or Neosporin.

It’s a localized skin infection. Wash area daily with soap and warm water and keep covered with a clean dry dressing.
Clean with peroxide twice a day for 3 days then leave to air. Take potent MVI, Vitamin C, zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin D daily. This is poor wound healing.
