How to tell if something is badly infected or spreading?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain, redness, swelling and tenderness are all symptoms of infection. So is associated fever and fatigue. The more you have of those symptoms, the worse the infection. Fever signifies infection that is not just local and you should see a doctor. Redness spreading on a skin infection is sign of significant spreading. Best to see your doctor if you have any concerns.
