Should I Use Hot Pack For The Incision On My Leg Done To Remove The Infection From A Sist?
I have a small incision on my leg that was done to remove an infection from a sist, now it is bruised and tender to the touch. Infection in the rest of my leg seems to be gone but the cut is hurt,bruised and really painful when touched. Should I use heat on it, cool on it or nothing

Hi,
From history it seems that you got some bacterial infection on incision site.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Clean the wound with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
