Infected

[Wyze]

So I forgot to pull my weapon out when breaking a car window and got a deep wound. Stitched it up but now it's infected, it's been this way for 3 game days. Does it just take a long time to heal? It's just a normal infection btw not zombie virus

It's not the zombie virus, no worries.

If you didn't disinfect it, it might take a while to get rid of it. Also depends on the traits you picked.

I have no negative healing traits. I used wipes on it a few times, guess I'll just wait it out and just change out the bandage if it gets dirty.

Here is a little copy-paste from the wiki:

A stitch should never be bandaged, as it increases the healing rate by approximately 6-fold, while also increasing the chance of infection. A sterilized bandage will prevent the stitch from becoming infected, however will still increase the healing rate, therefore is only recommended if the stitch is already infected and other means of disinfecting are not available.
