I was canoeing and I got a very small cut after hitting my thigh on a rock. I didn’t put any neosporin on because the pain was so small I didn’t even notice it at first. It’s been about 15 hours now and there’s an area of about 4 square inches near the cut that are puffy and itchy. What should I do? I’m pretty sure it’s infected…
