Hello
Welcome to HCM
so sorry to hear about your condition .
apply silver x cream on it two times per day .Keep the wound open if at home.prefer cotton ,loose clothes ,avoid friction between the area or it will get worse. As you say it has pus in it ,chances are its infected .so i will advice you to visit your family physician ,he/she will assess the wound & prescribe medications accordingly . For further query please write to us.
