    I just rang the out of hours emergency number and she said it doesn’t sound infected and it’s actually quite normal for it to be like that and abit oozy as it’s so soon into healing as I’m only 12 days 🙂 as long as it’s not runny and loads of it coming out, red and hot! mines just like it’s in my skin and scabbed so if anyone’s worried about theirs if it looks like that it’s probably just normal xxx

    I asked at work nurse said if it’s warm on the red part and not on the white it could be sign of start of infection and best to get looked at and get anti biotics, however if all same temperature then should be fine x
