What Is A Sore Wound In The Lower Leg With Red Dots Around It Suggestive Of?
I have a sore or open wound or something like that on my lower leg. At the start it was something I picked at then it became infected and I had antibiotics. I had a culture test last week and it came back clean. However there s still a lesion there. It s sort of skin coloured with 2 or 3 little red dots in it. How do I know if it s healing? And how long should it take to heal? I m a 20 year old female if that matters any bit.

Hi,
What you are telling suggests it's healing. It looks like granulation tissue. part of healing. Just get antiseptic dressing done every other day, and watch out for signs of infection like fever, increased pain, otherwise it ll heal in a week.
