Open wound near groin area isn't healing
I have hidradenitis suppurativa since 4years. I got a pustule near groin 6 days ago. After 2 days, it started draining. I have been dressing the wound 3 times a day by using mupirocin ointment and sterile gauze. There is no pus draining anymore. Only clear liquid along with some blood is oozing out. The wound is the size of a pea and is bright red in color. It is slight protruding out. Even after 5 days, the wound is oozing little bit and not healing completely.
I'm facing discomfort while urinating as it stings a little bit.
Please tell me what to do.
I'm attaching a close-up of the wound for reference.
