Suggest Treatment For Cuts On The Shin And Swelling
My husband has cuts on his for skin and swelling in the area where the cuts are starting to scab. He got a sun burn on it and it blistered and he tried using Monistat and it got worse. Should he put antibiotic cream? What type of doctor should he see? Thanks L

Hi,
Nothing to worry... the cuts might have been infected secondarily... better you take antibiotics tablets and also once get blood sugar levels tested to check diabetes. Can review at any physician for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
