I can't say specifically what I did, except that I bumped it and it bruised. From there, it broke down into an open wound. I have been to the doctor and was told NOT to use peroxide. It actually will damage healthy tissue that's starting to regenerate. In lieu of peroxide, I've been treating the wound with Silvadene or Silver Nitrite. It's an antimicrobial ointment that also promotes healing by tissue regeneration. I'm also finishing up a course of cipro.
bold prints TRUE. It actually does damages the healthy tissues. Causing the wound to be open again and prevents it to resist infections more.
I am sorry that you are going through this again. I hope you have a speedy recovery that doesn't require future measures. I will be keeping you in my thoughts, Oceanbreeze.
