I got a cut shaving about a week ago and it hasn't healed but it's grown larger (like a think layer of skin off) and there are sores appearing. ?

Infection?: If this cut is one week old and is seemingly getting worse and not better, then this may have become infected. You should have an evaluation to see if you need an antibiotic.
