minor burn, worries about infection-should I check it out?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi, about a week and a half ago I caught my hand on a hot tray that had just come out of the oven

I was just wondering whether I should get it checked out or not, it's honestly tiny! but a dark red mark has appeared on it today that wasn't there yesterday (see photo attached)

Im a university student and my local GP is awful when it comes to appointments, so chances are i would have two wait two weeks unless i went urgent care (which i dont think is worth it as it doesnt seem like an urgency)

would appreciate if people looked at the photo (its not too gross) and gave me some advice on whether i should get it checked out or not?
