See details: If it does not heal over the next 7-10 days or if you see pus, then have a doctor take a look. The majority will heals by keeping it clean and covered.

Hello, 2 weeks ago I fell and scraped my knee. Its healing, no discharge, no odour, clean it everyday, but on one side there are tiny blister-like bumps, mostly around the wound edge, same color as my skin, slightly itchy. What could it be? Thank you?
