I was cleaning it with savlon and then applying beetadine.one day in place of savlon , i used diluted dettol on the wound as well as on rest of my leg to clean it.Next day i found the skin around wound and all over my leg was red. It has buring and itching. some blisters as well can be seen there. Please advice the treatment.,Thanks

Hi,
It seems that there might be having bacterial infection and with dressing with antibiotic cream is not enough to heal the wound.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course like Amoxicilin for 5 days.
Go for dressing after proper cleaning the wound.
Ok and take care.
