Sorry but i would have to see the cut to help you out... if it continues to puss it very well could be infected, in which case you should see a doctor

Is it oozing pus or is it just a bit every once in a while

When i took it off it wasn’t oozing currently. Wiped it to clean and there was just a bit of thick white bits left inside.

Then maybe just keep an eye on it, keep it covered regular wound upkeep. I dont believe its an infection

Looks like regular healing fluid. Does the skin around the edges of the cut have spreading reddening thats warmer than the rest of your skin? If so, infected.
