Use a topical antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and noted your concern along with the images.

It seems as if it got traumatized during combing. I'd suggest you use an OTC topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
