Suggest Treatment For Wound Mark On Thighs
I have a small wound on my thigh, I think from scratching an it s. It s healing well and isn t particularly red, warm or painful. But today I accidentally scraped off the scap, and now there s one, faint, reddish line running up my thigh, though there s only one and it doesn t reach any lymph nodes or anything. Is that normal, or should I be worried?

Hello,
I suggest you use a topical antibiotic e.g Mupirocin 2% cream, twice daily for a week. I think this should take care of the wound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
