Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is a wound which has a possibility of the infections.

I advice you should take care of it. Good dressing and cleaning can be helpful to heal it.

After dressing application of the polysporin ointment can be helpful.

You can take the cefixime tablet 200 mg, aceclofenac and serratopeptidase, and pantoprazole tablet to help prevent infection and cure the wound earlier.

Bandaging over the wound can help prevent injury and help in rapid healing.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
