Looks a lil red,
I'd at least splash some isopropyl or hydrogen peroxide on it for good measure and bandage it up
I'm no doctor But the redness and pus in the big wound would scream red flag for me

Encryptor, not to subtract from your topic but, I WISH THAT WAS MY LEG.
I have really bad eczema on my ankles. It looks dead. On top of that my ankle is swollen up like a balloon, very very painful: edema. On top of that I have open wounds that DO NOT HEAL because of the eczema and the edema. I hobble around like a zombie and my lower leg looks the part.
My whole day is pain driven. Sitting up, having to lie down, trying to get my groceries and stuff.. not happy.

Actually, it does look a little inflamed. Is the area warm to the touch?

Dude, swollen ankles and wounds that do not heal are serious symptoms - kidney disease, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure.

I would wash the area well, then slather on neosporin and cover with gauze.

I've been taking warm baths and wrapping it with gauze wrap. I add just petroleum jelly. Should I try the polysporin? it's still sore for sure and yes feels warm near the wound. I used some Hydrogen peroxide just now while in the bath.

i can't stress enough how effective tea tree oil is for healing wounds. you don't need to douse it, just gently apply a thin layer of it. 2-3 hours after the tea tree, add some triple-antibiotic (neosporin seems to work better than generics, imo). 4-6 hours later, hit with tea tree again
coconut oil is also somewhat effective as a topical antibiotic, and raw honey has some validity, as well.

no need to keep it wrapped unless you're doing an activity that could disturb it. it needs air-flow

I hear for open wounds it will leave less of a scar by keeping it covered until it heals.

I wouldn't put petroleum jelly on it at all. You need the wound to air out. I would use polysporin and wrap it up before bed but if your'e around the house there's no need to and would be far more beneficial in the healing process.

scars are of little consequence; potential infection gaining a hold is

OP, don't listen to these wooks, use an american made antiseptic after disinfecting/washing the area (lightly scrub, don't be a bitch), then wrap in sterile cotton, it really is that fucking easy.

Bro
You need to disinfect that I see white pus and red inflammation around the wounds
Isopropyl alcohol n hydrogen peroxide can be both proquired at the store
Soap n petroleum jelly isn't gonna cut it
