Brief Answer:
Contrarubex

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
The ulcers are in healing stage.
Continue with Neosporin for another 7 days and then stop.
You can use a silicon based gel like contratubex twice daily for a month once you stop Neosporin.
This will prevent development of scar.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
