Suggest Remedy For The Infection From Cleaning Liquid

Good morning from Hawaii. I used the Off Oven cleaner to clean my stove on Friday. I got some on my right foreamr and didn't notice until it start to burn. I wash off the area and a redish area appeared about 3inch long and about 1/2 inch wide. Outer part was this redish burn area and in the middle I saw the whitish color of skin. I put Prpxodine on it and some antibotic treatment cream I had from before. Since it didn;t get better I went ot the ER and they gave me a stronger cream with the antibotic in it. My consider is that it is infected in the inside of the red area. I have an appoimtment to see my PCD tomorrow at 4:30pm. I'm diabetic and I have considers that I should be taken oral antibotics to fight the infection. Your thoughts are appreciatted.
