hi healthcare magic user, please don't neglect your wound.
if it spreads it may open wound.
if I would have been your doctor I would have advised you to get complete blood count, wound culture and sensitivity.
depending on culture report would have changed antibiotics. Betadine ointment for wound, have high protein diet, vitamins C supplement.
