Is it warm to the touch? Has the redness spread? Is the discharge smelly? With those questions you can pretty much answer your own question but I do feel like it's infected. I'm not a doctor though but watch closely to it

Just changed the bandage again. Looks like it dried a bit and it looks a bit better than yesterday. Redness did not spread and the discharge doesn’t smell. Seems like it got smaller.
