Suggest Cure For Open Boil On Nose
My daughter is 4 year old and had got a small boil on her nose . the next day a yellow discharge came out along with blood. I applied ice to stop the blood and then the termeric paste. The wound is still wet inside . If I try removing the termeric layer , it will again start bleeding. Please suggest some ointment that can be applied on the open boil heals up.

HI
Well come to HCM
This must be infection with pus formation and such wound need to be treated with antibiotic orally as well as locally, should never be tried anything else than local antibiotic otherwise this could cause septic,
for local application "Povidone Iodine" ointment is best, keep the would clean saline water, or with antiseptic wound cleaning agent, hope this information helps, take care.
