Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that the local treatment what you are following is not sufficient for the wound to heal.
Kindly do the following so that it would heal early and better.
1. Clean the wound with antiseptic like Povidine twice daily.
2. Apply Neomycin cream on the wound.
3. Take a course of oral antibiotics like Amoxacilin with Clavulenic acid.
4. Take antiinflammatory medication like Ibuprofen twice daily after food.
In the meantime, try to avoid trauma to the part and keep the wound clean and healthy.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
