Hello, My Name Is Marilyn, I Went To The Beach

Hello, my name is Marilyn, I went to the beach a week ago, I was in the water and a wave dragged me and went into a rock. My leg was badly scrapped and was bleeding very bad. Urgent Care was closed, I had to take care of it myself. I went to the doctor the next day, she changed the dressing and used Bacitracin. After a week, my leg is throbbing and swells up. I change the dressing everyday; elevate with pillows, using ice packs. My wound still looks very red and when I remove the pads, there is a gold-green color. I do not see any puss or red line. Do you think, this is normal? Thank you, Marilyn
