General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hell there,
Thanks for your post on HealthcareMagic.
I carefully read your query and understand your point of concern.

Don't worry by taking medicine you will be fine.

As far your description it is clear to me that you have circular burn on your arm which is infected.

My advice is -
Take an antibiotic like flucloxacilin for bacterial infection.
Pain killer like Ibuprofen or ketorolac.
Local antibiotic ointment.
And if it is covered by a heard things then you need to go to emergency department for dressing.

I think it will help you.
If you have any query about this please don't hesitate to ask, i will be happy for answering you.
Wish your good health.

Regards
Dr. Atiqul
