An infected wound is going to become quite red and tender. It may leak pus or whitish-yellowish pus may be visible underneath the skin. There will be red streaks trailing away from the wound.
An infection can become extremely serious because it means that bacteria has entered the wound site and is complicating proper healing. It may lead to a life threatening sepsis which is when your body becomes overwhelmed by toxic fluids.
