Flakes With Bump And Irritation On The Site Of Ripped Skin. What Is The Cause?
Hi one day i was in the car and my arm was itchy so i scratched it. I felt skin come off so when i look at my arm i had ripped off my skin. The thing is i barely scratched it. It is about the size of half your pinkys finger nail. I ve been putting neosporean on it and its healing . But today i went in the pool and it got a little flakey around it. Its a little pink around it to i guess form the irritation. And it has an unusual little bump next to it. what do you think it is???

Water harbours so many infections- I think you have caught one and the awy it's speading is alarming.
I would advise-
Inj tetanus toxoid IM stat, you can omit it if you have taken one in past 5years for any reason.
Cream Fusidin/Fusiwal apply BD.
Tab. Augmentin 625mg 8Hourly for 5days.
Start before it's too late.
