Hello Vickie and thanks for your query
Betadine and Suframycin both are antibacterial and antiseptic creams. If you no allergic reaction to either of the cream than you can use the cream which is easily available or you have it in your home. Both creams have same action. But with these cream you have to take antibiotic course and proper care of the wound like cleaning and protect it from infection.
Best Wishes and have a speedy recovery.
