HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The symptoms of infection should have resolved-fever, increased warmth in the area, redness, swelling, discharge, pain
If these symptoms are still present then you may need another course of antibiotics.
If you are well, then the infection has resolved. Even when the infection resolves you would still have a discoloration and possible scar tissue present.
I hope this helps
