What should I do? Should I go to a doctor if my keloid is infected? Will my whole leg be? Will the skin grow back? (photo)

The outer layer of skin over my keloid has fallen off do to the fact that i tried the rubber band method and now i think its infected and one liitle poke will make it bleed big spots and when i put something to cover it then take it off their will be some type of green thick mucus or something
