Suggest Treatment For An Open Wound And Bruise On Ankle

I get a bruise on my ankle get open today I cleanup well the small wound and a drop of antibacterial gel with a sterile bandage. I do have Ciprofloxacin500MG Tablets to take twice daily. I used few months ago for the same type of wound I have a very thin skin and if I bump my leg lightly I bruise and sometime a small piece of my skin get open. Should I take my medicine (10 Tablets left).? Thank you.

Dermatologist 's  Response
hello
in your case I suggest you to use better an antibiotic cream twice a day together with regeneration skin cream than using oral antiobiotics . its not necessary to use oral antibiotics everytime that we bruise or damage our skin
only if our skin is too damaged and is not cleaned at the time of damage.

thank you for using healthcaremagic and feel free to ask me again
