Wound infection?
The area of the wound looks somewhat red, which could indicate a possible infection. I don’t see any red streaks going up to the wrist, which could further indicate an infection. Do you have fevers or pain? Ideally, the wound should be cleaned and a culture obtained to rule out a wound infection. The wound would also benefit from debridement to remove dead tissue and stimulate the growth of new tissue. READ MORE
