Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. It is likely to be infection. But there is need for the confirmation. You can do Grams staining from nearby laboratory. If the report states some bacteria than there is need to take the antibiotics accordingly. Some times there may be reactionery excretion. In that case local hygiene maintenance will suffice for cure. You can apply betadine ointment after proper cleaning. Application of the polysporin ointment can also help. Maintenance of the good hygiene , and dryness is equally important as treating the infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
