Abrasions Infection
I met with an accident, its been 1 week now, already took tetnus shot and had two abrasions one on my wrist and other one on leg but wrist one got infection and formed blisters all over it. now its itchy, redness & swollen.
Went to my nearby General Physician he asked me to just clean it with warm water and continue medications (Verclav 650 & Zerodol Paracetamol) and also asked to apply betadine cream but whenever i apply betadine cream infection get worse. I also have Encube's Soframyncin cream should i stop applying cream all at once? or should change my medication routine with soframyncin?

Hello! I’m sorry to hear about your accident and the worsening infection on your wrist despite the tetanus shot and medications. The blisters, itching, redness, and swelling suggest the current treatment, including Betadine cream, may not be effective, and applying it could be aggravating the infection. I cannot recommend stopping or changing medications without a detailed evaluation. I strongly suggest scheduling an online consultation with me to assess your condition and adjust your treatment plan.
