So I applied soframycin to the area. But now the pock is reoccurring. It starts of small, develops and bursts, and it has recurred 3-4 times in the same place in last 10 days. Kindly suggest any medication to eradicate this issue. Thanks !
Brief Answer:
start taking antibiotics tablets
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern.
According to your history you have developed Furuncle/boil.
So you can start taking antibiotic tablets like Tab Amoxiclav 650 mg twice daily , morning and night after food for 5 days and tab Paracetamol 500mg if u have fever.
As you are getting boil in same place again and again, it might be stubborn furuncle.
Treatment for stubborn furuncles generally includes steps to promote drainage and healing. Warm compresses can help speed the rupturing of a furuncle. Apply a warm, moist compress throughout the day to facilitate drainage.Regular dressing for wound.
Continue to apply warmth to provide both healing and pain relief after a boil has ruptured. Wash your hands and the boil site thoroughly and frequently with warm water and antibacterial soap to avoid spreading the staph bacteria to other areas of your body.
Preventing Boils
Help prevent boils by following these guidelines:
Carefully wash clothes, bedding, and towels of a family member who is infected with boils.
Clean and treat minor skin wounds.
Practice good personal hygiene.
Stay as healthy as possible.
I hope i have cleared your query
Thank you
Take care
