Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
You need extra care for this wound now. You did not mention your age. Are you diabetic or hypertensive??? I would suggest you following:
> Clean the wound with pyodine solution (once). Then apply polyfax plus ointment followed by clean bandage.
> Change dressing regularly(for at least a week). Apply polyfax plus ointment every time before applying dressing/bandage.
> Do not use water or soap for cleaning.
> Wash hands every time before and after changing bandage.
> take amoxicillin/
clavulanic acid for 5 days.
You need to report to hospital if:
> wound does not improve in a week.
> Pus discharge or foul smell start appearing in the wound.
> Skin color starts changing
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
