Is It Normal To Have Black Stuff Hole After Staph Infection Is Gone?
Hello! So last week I went to the doctor with the start of a staph infection on the lower part of my right leg. They prescribed me antibiotics and I have taken them daily as directed. The swelling has definitely gone done and the pain is gone as well as all the redness. All that was left was a big black scab. In the shower however, it came off and now I literally have a hole in my leg with a little black stuff in it. Is that normal? Orrrr nah?

Hi,
The crust is removed. So, the hole has occurred. There is no need to worry. Continue the treatment as you are taking. Again the crust may be formed and then the healing would occur.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
