Brief Answer:
Please post fresh photos.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Nice to read you again.
I would have liked to see the fresh photos of today.
Also noted Vitamin D deficiency- for better healing, Vitamin A and D levels should be normal.
You should also take Vitamin A twice daily for at least 3 days so that the Vitamin D is absorbed well and both work in unison.
You may use Liquid Povidone Iodine- Betadine locally 3 to 4 times a day to keep the area clean and sterile.
Use doughnut type pillows to alleviate the pressure from the peri-anal area as it helps in early healing.
I hope this answer helps you in addition.
Please post fresh photos.
