∙ 12y agoThere are many many signs of an infected wound and the most clear sign is that the wound's scab will be pussing or have a milky liquid in it, the scab will also not be a healthy brown, rust, red color instead it will be an infected yellowish orangey color.
How to to treat the infection:
- - first wash the wound with warm water and antibacterial soap (this will sting)
- - after the washed wound is perfectly dried get a face cloth or any cloth and use hydrogen peroxide to cleanse the wound
- - about an hour after that put some NEOSPORIN on the wound and continue putting this on until the wound heals completely
