Cut myself with a razor wound looks like a line filled with pus now, no redness around it. Is it healing or infected?! no soreness nothing just pus

Dr. Robert Killian, University of Utah School of Medicine Answered Jul. 22, 2013
26 years experience in General Practice
Pus is urgent. Pus is a sign of infection. It is not to just be observed. The sooner treatment is started the better. Please get to the doctor today.
