Accident wound
Hello all,
I had an accident from my bike few days back and i have my skin scratched on my elbow and my leg.
I had it dressed from local hospital.
After one dressing i removed the leg joint dressing and redressed elbow wound.
After that repeated. I am applying cipladine on my leg wound.
But it is not seems to be healing.
Now after reading on practo purchased Mupirocin for applying.
Should i apply it instead of cipladine or continue with the same.
Regards,
Vivek.

Hello Vivek ,
Its a abrasion which looks deep
Don't try to treat at home
You may need to take antibiotics also
Clinical examination is necessary for that

Deep abrasions can take up to 2 weeks to heal completely
If you are not from a medical background please do not try to self medicate or change medications after reading up online.
Please meet with your nearby Orthopaedic doctor for a proper dressing as there seems to be redness around the abrasion as well
