Does Clindamycin Help Cure Infection In Cuticle Completely?
I have an infection on the right side of my thumb in the cuticle. I have 300 MG of clindamycin that I have from a previous treatment. I can not see my doctor for 2 days. I know that clindamycin treats topical infections can I take this medication for my infection in my cuticle.
Cuticle skin infection usually from gram positive organism
For that rather than clindamycin take broad spectrum another group antibiotic like cefixime 200 mg BD for 5 days or amoxicillin plus clavulenic acid for 5 days
If infection more than topical neomycin can be applied
Take care
Hope your concern solved
If needed consult nearby doctor for examination or post photo of infected area for giving more comment
