Hello,

The swelling with pus can be due to local infection. Do not worry as it has been examined by your doctor and she has suggested you appropriate medicines and an ointment for local application, use it as per her advice.

Keep the area clean and avoid touching it without washing your hands. It should heal with time, as far as the pus is not forming there, the process of healing will start.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manisha Auradkar, General & Family Physician
