Post Dog Bite Wound
Sir/Ma'am,
These are the bite marks of a dog bite on my left leg, post 9 days. My ARS and ARV are done so far. But I'm unsure wether they are healing well or if they might be getting infected.
Advised course of Augmentin, Pantop, PCM for 5 days has been completed as well.
I clean up the wounds with extremely diluted Dettol water and then apply Betadiene once in a day.
Kindly guide.

There is a secondary bacterial infection on those areas.
You can apply fucidin cream
Apart from that you will require a proper oral antibiotic course
For that please visit a local dermatologist
