5. Fever
A common cut or scrape is not usually accompanied by a fever. Even if it becomes infected, a fever is not common. Pus is usually present throughout the cut or scrape. You may also experience some pain and discomfort. Your cut or scrape may be more serious than you thought if you are experiencing a fever. This likely means the infection runs deeper than just through the cut or scrape. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
