injection was 4 weeks ago 5cm from navel no itching no other sites has this problem
Brief Answer:
Likely to be carbuncle
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms
Thanks for providing clinical photograph. The site of injection has become a chronic non healing ulcer which could be due to
1. Subcutaneous necrosis of the fat secondary to injection causing the formation of carbuncle and spreading infection
2. Atypical Infection like Mycobacterium
3. Co-existing illness like Diabetis Mellitus
I would suggest you the following
1. Wound swab for culture and antibiotic sensitivity( Culture even for Mycobacterium )
2. Fasting and post prandial blood sugar level to rule out Diabetes Mellitus
3. Local debridement and daily dressing
4. Course of oral antibiotics for 2 weeks
Do keep me updated about the progress. It is my practise to follow up with individuals unless they are symptom free.
Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life
