On Monday I burnt my finger on my hair straighteners. I left it a few hours, during which the skin over the burn split. When I got home from school I put ointment on it and then put a bandage on it. I took it off the next day. The burn looked like it was healing, so I left it uncovered. Yesterday, I accidentally caught my hand on something which took the skin off where it had split, making it into an open wound again. I put a band-aid on it. Today I took the band aid off, just to check how it was, and I noticed the area where the skin had split was puss-y. I washed it out and now have another bandage on it. Is this a sign of infection? Or is it normal for healing wounds to be pussy?

Thanks in advance,

Hannah.
