Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I read your previous question and also seen image attached with that.

It seems ulcer. It will take 7-10 days to heal if you use neosporin powder and no other symptoms or worsening seen. Avoid masturbation or sex until it heals. Wear loose clothes.On neosporin powder cover with cotton and micropore tape to prevent friction with clothes. When you are at home wear only loose boxer or loose trouser without inner wear for fast healing.

If there is continuous discharge,pain or wound deepens or enlarge please go to dermatologist for evaluation and treatment.
