A member asked:
Really dark scabs and bruising under 2 day old cuts? are they infected? this has never happened before.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What were cuts?: If this is infected you should see redness, tenderness, warmth, swelling, and possibly discharge which could look like pus. Depending upon how you cut yourself this does not necessarily sound unusual, but if you have any serious questions, go and let a doctor look at it.
