How Can An Open Skin Wound Be Treated?
I broke my fibula about 5 days ago and the Dr gave me a boot and crutches. My leg was itching really bad so I went to scratch by my ankle when I loosened the boot. I found that there was a rash and it had a little piece of open skin that is secreting a clear liquid. What is the fastest way to get rid of it?

If there are signs of infection then you need antibiotc ointment such as muciprocin. And if not, then you should apply silicone based cream of granuflex and keep area clean and dry.
