Be seen: It is hard to say without seeing the wound directly. Sometimes the skin can get macerated and be white appearing and the tissue that you are describing as being red may just be healthy granulating tissue filling in the area. It is just hard to say without seeing. I would followup with a medical provider until it is clearly healed.

Seems: Normal. The pink tissue is granulation healthy tissue. Continue wound care as instructed and follow up with treating doctor
