Suggest Treatment For Cut On The Calf

I have a pretty deep cut on my calf. It actually happened a week ago, but have covered it 24 hours a day with an antibiotic cream. Last night I put peroxide on it and left it uncovered. Now it is fine when I m laying down,but when I get up I can hardly walk. It hurts so bad. What should I do?

Hi..

In case if after a week also you are unable to walk then the cut is deep enough and needs proper medical intervention..

You should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and see if you need stitches and also if there is infection in deeper tissues and you need antibiotics for the same..

So get checked once so that the exact condition can be ruled out and treated accordingly..
Home treatment should not be continued and proper medical intervention should be done..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
