Punctured wound
I had a punctured wound under my heal area when I accidentally stepped on the laptop charger. It happened on 27th June. It was healing and suddenly the wound got swelled and I could see the yellow pus under the skin around the wound. I completed a course of Augmentin 625 for 6 days. The yellow area under the sking turned kind of black and then dark red. Today from the wound the reddish blood came out and the swollen area around the wound has improved. I have again did bandage with betadine liquid. Please suggest what can be done. I am not putting pressure on the foot.
