I have scrape on back of leg from ankle to knee which is scabbing but some of it is turning beige, infected?

Got the injury when my leg went thru a plastic lawn chair while standing on it. Its been 5 days and I can't afford to go to doctor. I can get around on it but when I first stand on it after having it elevated, it takes a minute to get over lot of pain. I've kept it clean and mostly bandaged tho I take the bandage off during the day at home. Just wondering how the scabbing process looks as it heals or is it getting infected in that one area.

Please don't take advice from amateurs when your health is concerned. Consult your doctor!
