HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, chances of infection is very likely and this can be managed with the medicines given below,
1) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day
2) Tab Cefdinir 300 mg twice in day for five days
keep the area clean, take care for pus formation, if you find something like this then this need to be clean very well, take care and have a nice day.
