Infection: You may have infection in the skin. Consult your doctor, you may need antibiotics. Do not ignore infections in the face.

Exudate: The clear fluid is likely exudate, a response of your body to the injury. Cool compresses with aloe vera gel may help. Persistent redness, tenderness, and colored discharge indicates infection and should be treated by your physician.
