How To Treat Oozing Sore On Elbow?

Oozing sore. My elbow was sore at gym. I was rubbing my elbow so hard, I rubbed a small piece of skin off while talking to friend. Didntbrealize it till I got home. I put some neo on it and bandage for 2 days. When I took ban age off I realized it hadn t scanned up yet so I neospored it again and banged it for another day. It started to itch around the bandaid. I took it off last night and looked at sore. It was itching. The small sore still hadn t scanned over. I put red antiseptic on it a nd peroxide un covered. It started to ozze but it feels like it is trying to heal. Any suggestions. It s was just some top layer skin rubbed off. May be infected a lillte.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury in the elbow.
To treat the wound I suggest to:
-Clean it with hydrogen peroxide
-Use an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream for local application
-Using a clean bandage to cover the area.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
