How Can itchy Red Blisters On The Arms And Hand Be Treated?

I cut my thumb, lost some skin. My doctor told me to put triple antibiotic on it and keep it covered. That caused my wound to become soggy and it widened a lot and the outer ring of it was puffy and red. Now I have blisters going down my hand and both arms very itchy (Benadryl helps) and reddened skin. My doctor doesn t know what s going on. Please help, I don t want to lose my thumb. Thank you!!!

Hello, I hope you are well, dermatological problems are very common in your age group and can be presented in various ways and in multiple scenarios. If you have risk factors for being immunocompromised any injury can be direct entry for a systemic condition in which it can disrupt your metabolic state. In this case, infectious control with antibiotics is the choice, depending on the resistance profile of your place is the type of medicine. Other interventions may range from medical cures or surgical debridements.
