Brief Answer:
There is chance that it might have gotten infected

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Sometimes, it is kind of response when exposed to hydrogen peroxide but there is chance that it might have gotten infected. Will be excluded if a physical examination is done. it is better to put you on an antibiotic.
