I have a few cuts on me and they are all showing signs of mild infection. could this be because i have been sick this last week? what can i do?

Cuts : If your cuts are red and warm, please wash them with soap and water then apply a topical antibiotic ointment to the areas if they don't improve, you may need an oral antibiotic. Please visit your family physician for an antibiotic if the cuts don't feel better.
