You should see a doctor asap. She will probably have it it cleaned up and prescribe some antibiotics. There are several kinds so NEVER take anyone else's or your old leftover antibiotics for such a or any problem. Also, if you DO get prescription of antibiotics, you must use the meds in the way the doctor says, this is very important. Do not stop just because the symptoms are gone, maybe the doctor has decided you need to keep taking the meds for a longer time, then thatīs what you do. Also, NEVER dispose meds in the trash or toilet, antibiotics should be destryoed in labs and not in nature. Your doctor will tell you this.
One thing you can do is to keep the spot clean with strong rubbing alcohol. Be careful and good luck!
