Infection?

[Greedyfly]

I recently got a deep cut and had to go to the hospital (ended up with just steri strips). They dressed it etc.. and told me to keep it covered and not wet until my next appointment which is in just over a week. I have changed the dressing a few times since and cleaned the surrounding area with TCP but have noticed a rather strong smell (sorry guys). It doesn't look infected and isn't red etc. Just painful.

Do you think I have cause for concern? I wonder if the smell is just from the fact that I have to keep it dry and covered so it isn't really being cleaned properly?

Thanks for your advice.
