How To Heal The Pus Filled Wound On Elbow ?
8 months ago a dermatologist injected both elbows for psoriasis. Got a Mersa infection in both elbows from injection and have a hole in each elbow that will not heal.They ooze yellow and then a clear fluid. Wounds won't close. Antibiotic controls infection but will not heal wound

hi iam dr.nallammai
welcome to healthcare magic
usually antibiotics heals wound by controlling infection
as ur wound is not healed
i would advice u to get ur blood sugar levels tested ie, both fasting and 2 hrs postprandial blood sugar levels,,because if u r diabetic ur wound healing will be delayed..
if ur sugar level is controlled wound ll automatically b heald
