Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Infection on right hand you have hs to be cleaned & dressed rdaily.. along with medicines ( antibiotics/ anti inflammatory drugs & vitamins b complex & vitamin C ).
Long standing & non healing infection needs culture & sensitivity test of the exudate followed by specific antibiotic ..
Get blood sugar test to find/ exclude diabetes...Control of diabetes helps healing.
* You need to consult your family physician for expert guidance.
Please don't worry. you would be alright with methodical treatment under expert advise.
