Is my Road Rash infected?

Question

Asked for Female, 14 Years

I went long boarding 3 days ago and ended up falling and skidding on the hard ground on a down hill. Both my knees was scraped and both around the same size as a ping pong ball. I went home and cleaned it with water and bandaged it up until later that day when I sterilised it and applied some polysporin. The next day I did the same thing and also showered with it and rinsed off the medicine and just tried to keep it moist and clean. It still continuously had cream/yellow colored pus coming out and the joint was aching when I walked. I woke up this morning with the wound on my right mostly yellow colored and I didn't know if it is infected or not? Can someone please tell me or message me for other details?
