I had a cold sore about two months ago. I treated it with abreva. It healed but left a red mark (bottom lower lip). About 3 weeks ago I was bitten by a venomous spider and went through an antibiotic treatment. During the time I was being treated for the spider bite, the area where the previous cold sore raised again. I now have a bump in the area that is pink and raised. It is not painful but does not seem to be getting better. Should I be concerned?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, you need not worry. It will go with its own. Redness in the wound is probably because of infection. If you continue with the antibiotics taken for the spider bite the swelling will go with its own. Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important for constraining the infection as equally Chat Doctor. Applying antibiotics ointment like polypoid can help you prevent infection. Taking cetirizine can help you from getting itching. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
