I have some wounds that have turned orangey, and are red around the cut. Should i be concerned about this? If so what course of action should i take.  

Update - 
I cant see a doctor, as that would bring up a discussion on the nature of the cuts, and then im rlly screwed.

See a Dr. You may need an antibiotic to kill the infection.

Most likely the wound needs to be cleaned properly and then treated with antibiotics (either topical or systemic).

Attempting to clean it yourself and then treat it with an over-the-counter triple antibiotic ointment may not be effective.

Plus, you may need a tetanus shot.

See a doctor.
