Brief Answer:
Irritated, possible infected skin.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I saw carefully your photo.
With the information I have, I think you should take care of that wound, by preventing to make it worse.
Be careful when you use bandages around it. Select a non-stick or fabric bandage manufactured for sensitive skin. Apply over any raw areas, securing adhesive edges to healthy skin. This can protect the area from contact with irritants and bacteria.
Apply Vaseline on top of it. If it produces secretions and doesn't get better or worse, you need to see a local doctor who can do some testing to find out the type of infection and the treatment that you need.
Hope this makes sense.
Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.
