Stab wound help me

I got a stab wound before Easter. It had puss but I put some bactine on it. I seem to have lots of pain. And there are marks around the stab wound or close to it. The colors are pinkish red, yellow, and purple. I am unsure of what to do. How can I treat myself? Is this long term or not? Do I need stitches??

The wound might be infected. You should go to an emergency room or a physician's office.
