Can Nuforce-G Be Used For An Infected Wound On The Foot?
i live in cambodia and the availability of modern medicines or how to use what is fairly scarce. A few days ago i grazed my foot and although usually cleaning the wound and letting it dry would allow it to heal, I picked up an infection in the cut. The location is a little worrying as the wound is on the soft skin on the top of my foot close to some nice healthy veins. So I started cleaning and using first betadine gel, that didn t work. After that the local pharmacy gave me Nuforce g cream (which the internet tells me is sold in Tanzania). I was sceptical of what the pharmacist said was the perfect cream to deal with this infection, I ve seen mosquito and sand fly bites get infected and the cases get very serious from then on. Is Nuforce right for this kind of a problem
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of an infected wound, my treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil, and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
