Cyt myself and put vaseline on it and a plaster. now the cut has a burning sensation, is it infected?

Dirty vaseline: The vaseline may be contaminated and you should instead cleanse the would with betadine solution, apply topical antibiotic and wrap it with sterile gauze or wide band-aid plaster.If the wound is swollen and red, oral antibiotic may be necessary.
