What Causes A Red Ring Around The Wound Along With Swelling?
I was cut by a Barbed Wire fence in the woods about 5 days ago about my right knee and today when I woke up I realized my right thigh muscle was really sore (reminds me of the feeling I get after I do about 100 squats). Just my right side thigh. My left thigh feels fine. Then later in the day my cut started stinging so I looked at it and most of the cut is healed except a small dot and there is a red ring around the dot and some swelling. Could I have something? I Have had my tetanus booster within the past 3 years.
