Brief Answer: please read a detailed answer below Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing to us. It seems the wound has not responded to medicines applied and is getting inflammed. To treat the same take an oral antibiotic like amoxycillin clavulinic acid combination or cefixime along with an oral anti inflammatory like diclofenac serratiopeptidase combination. These two are prescription drugs. clean the area with betadine daily twice and apply mupirocin cream. If the lesion has formed crust, apply steroid antibiotic cream like mupirocin fluticasone combination. This should help lesion heal in few days.Also when the lesions heal and crust, slight pain while moving or stretching the limb is there. But as redness has increased,probably the lesion is inflammed. Posting an image of affected area would help me in assisting you further Hope this helped.
