Hello,
Thank you fir posting on HCM.
The injured site may not have been managed properly leading to improper healing. Take oral antibiotic containing cefadroxyl and clavulanic acid in dosage as advised by your doctor. Also add analgesic and serratiopeptidase tablets to your treatment. Apply antibiotic cream containing mupirocin twice a day. Rarely, little scrapping of non-healing tissue is required which is called surgical debridgement.
Avoid scratching/ pricking of injured site.
Hope you get well soon.
Thank you
