Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
You need antibiotic trail first based on Culture report.
I personally prefer to use Augmentin for such infections.
if the would is not healing or getting extensive, then only you require a surgery.
Also, get daily dressing done.
This is my best advice for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
