Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
I would suggest you to continue your antibiotic course but just change the antibiotic to tab. Gudcef-plus twice a day for 3 days after food.
After three days you can just stay on topical treatment till it heals.
Also, consult a dermatologist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.

Hello there...I can understand your concern. If there's no pus coming at all now, then continue using the topical medications till it heals completely. However if there's still pus coming out, then it better you take another course of antibiotics. So kindly consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
