Why The Wound Not Getting Cured After A Month?

Hi, I fell and grazed my knee a month ago, and my wound has mostly healed but is still reddish and has left a bump, the previous week it has developed a rash around the wound area and the rash has pus. What should I do to treat it and how can I minimise the appearance of a scar?
