Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that you can use neosporin powder with small amount of water to fix it. Infection will be cleared soon. If not cleared you can start with oral antibiotics like cefixime. Maintain good local hygiene will help you more for healing. You can use cetrizine to get relieved by itching.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
