Q:

A few days sgo I cut my leg just above my ankle while I was in the shower, and it started to heal fine. Then the leg of my jeans started to rub on it, it got a little infected but I cleaned it out and put a bandage over it. Today in class I accidentally hit it on the side of my desk and it broke open... now it looks infected again and won't heal over. Can I just continue to clean it and put neosporin on it or should I have it looked at?

 

A:

If it is getting redder, more tender and has drainage, we should take a look at it. Call 650-3400 for a same day appointment today.
