No scab, one hasn't formed yet, so I've been able to clean it. I've been pouring peroxide over it each time I take a bandage off.
I'll call tomorrow and make an appointment.

Relax, enjoy the calm before he arrives, and then enjoy the noise
Once you noticed it was infected did you open it up so any gunk could drain out? If its scabbed over, the antibiotic lotion won't do anything. I'd rip the scab off, let it bleed, wash it off and put antibiotic on it. Then if it isn't noticeably better in the morning, get into a doctor. Poor Kaleigh had a small sore on her finger and then on her face last year, which ended up being a staff infection. The one on her face went from one small one, to a whole bunch and polysporin did nothing, it needed something stronger. Now she has 3 small scars on her cheek, which drive Ken crazy.

How many days should it take for an infection from a cut to heal? On Saturday I cut myself quite badly while shaving, I slipped and the razor sliced me sideways, it's about a 3 inch long cut. It took all day for it to stop bleeding and I left the bandage off over night so it could get some air to start healing. It didn't hurt and I forgot about it the next day.
Monday after work, a neighbor came over to talk to me on my porch, and she noticed it and said, "Um....I hate to tell you this, but that's infected". I looked down and sure enough, it was red all the way around, quite a big area, hard and hot to the touch, you know the infection signs. It didn't hurt, so I'd forgotten about checking on it until she pointed it out.
So I went inside and put antibiotic and a bandage on it overnight, took it off in the morning for a short time for it to air out while we got ready to leave, put new antibiotic and bandage on before leaving for work. Same thing at bedtime, same thing today. But last night is when it started to hurt when bumped. Have I waited enough days to go get an oral antibiotic from my doctor? Anybody know? I don't have any experience with things like this and don't want to wait too long, but it's not healing yet.
sure you are, until I tell you the price

It works unless of course something happens and you have to come home from one of the islands and you will have a hell of a time trying to get on an airplane... think medical or family emergencies... that's why they tell you to get a passport...
