Is it needed to apply some medicine on the infected part of the injury?
Patient: Hi Dr Prasad,My son had an ankle injury and was advised a plaster . We were also advised to avoid the plaster from getting wet or if he must take a bath, he could use a plastic cover over the plaster. We used a plastic cover over the plaster, but unfortunately the water went inside. Within 3 days my son started complaining of itching iin the feet. I insisted that the plaster be cut and to my horror, found that his foot was completely soddened . The doctor then advised  us to leave it open. It has dried up, but i still need to know, if he needs to apply some medicine on the infected part or should he just let it be. Doctor: Hi,Clean the affected area with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.Keep local part open and airy.First time clean the part by the doctor so proper cleaning of the part is done.If your doctor feels proper, he will go for one course of antibiotic medicine course.Ok and take care.
