stop your triple antibiotic cream. it consist of 1- antibiotic. 2-anti fungal. 3-steroid. this cream is harmful for wound. wound become non healing ulcer. you do not worry. consult surgeon for physical examination of wound,anti septic sterilized dressing,antibiotic. he may take a swab for culture & sensitivity. you would be alright within 7 to 10 days. feedback.
