Hi,
This may be from friction with the prosthesis, which may need adjustment. Remove the prosthesis for the time being and get back to your doctor or prosthetist. Try applying mupirocin ointment twice daily instead of betadine. Keep the area clean and dry.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
