Could be the way you have dressed your wound. You have to try to make the procedure sterile so it limits the chances of getting it infected again. Washing your hands before the procedure is a critical step that helps in preventing it from getting infected. Then, cleaning the wound in one direction if it's a cut to prevent like mixing between other places.

You can buy dressing packs+saline from the chemist with like tweezers which can help a bit, but might be expensive after a while tho, but maybe ur GP or the nurse that works there might be able to help a bit?
