    You may have an infection in the wound.keep it clean and uncovered if possible but if it is rubbing on clothing then cover it lightly. If the redness starts to spread, or the wound becomes very pusy or your arm swells or you feel unwell go to ER or A/E .Dont put any creams or ointments on it,but do see your GP for reassurance if you are at all worried.
