Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for getting back with the answers & images. I have gone through them. These images are showing that your wound is healing. In some cases fluid accumulates(vesicles). As you are taking antibiotic therapy so you just need to wait & observe. Meanwhile following measures will help you in early recovery:

- dont touch that area with dirty hands
- apply polyfax plus ointment over that area thrice a day.
- wash hands before & after touching it.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
