How Can An Infected Wound Be Treated While Suffering From Diabetes?
I am a diabetic. Last Monday I scraped my leg some way and now it looks infected. I have been using an antibiotic on the wound, and keep it covered with a sterile bandage. Tonight it looks red all around it and has yellow center. I thought it was a minor scrap, but it is turned into a major little pain. Can I use peroxide to clean it and cover with anti biotic cream?
