Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
What injury you have suffered is burns due to heat from the silencer of bike.
It would take some time for the injury to heal. Hence kindly be patient.
You need to do the following:
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic like Savlon twice daily.
2. Keep the wound clean and healthy.
3. You can continue to apply Sileverex cream what you are using. Along with it, you need to use Soframycin skin cream or gauze dressing to cover the wound.
4. Take Tablet. Diclofenac with Serratiopeptidase twice daily after food for 5 days.
In case the wound is showing signs of infection, you need to take antibiotic course containing Amoxacillin with Clavulenic acid twice daily for 5 days.
Drink good quantity of fluids with citrus fruit juices.
You should get better in about a week to 10 days.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
