Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should do swabbing from the infected area. Do Gram's staining, culture and sensitivity from the swab.

Green pus is suggestive of Pseudomonas infection.

Taking the treatment as per the report will cure you completely.

Please take good care of local hygiene by regular cleaning and dressing. You can use betadine ointment and polysporin ointment at the time of dressing.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
