What Is The Solution For Curing A Wound On Knee From An Accident?

Hi, I am suffering from a wound on my knee which i got it few weeks back from my bike accident. it was looking like a normal scratch with very little bleeding. so i washed and cleaned the wound with dettol(Antiseptic lotion) and applied Povidone-iodine cream for few days. In few days the wound looked dry and healed, but used to experience pain when touched of pressed. After few days i took an antibiotic injection too as i was not having time to take TT at the time of accident. After few days after taking injection, i was able to see Puss coming out. I went to a doctor and got dressed. the doctor prescribed Panderm + for this.. and i was applying everyday, and again it looked healed after few days and even became small is size.. Yesterday, (i.e after two weeks) again i saw Puss coming out... i cleaned the wound myself with Savlon(Antiseptic Lotion) and removed the upper layer skin which was covering the wound in order to clean the inside wound completely.. Now wound just like before... and dont know how to get it cured...

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having deep tissue infection or even infection spread in knee joint as well.
Go for x-ray knee joint.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine courses.
Get dressing done by the doctor only.
Ok and take care.
