Hi Doctor,I stepped on a sharp piece of fish bone so I put peroxide side on it and thoguht it was ok but I found out 3 weeks later a tiny tip of the bone was still in my foot so I squeezed the tip of the bone out and a small amount of pus came out. In two days the pain went away, the natural color in the area came back, the tiny opening closed, and the skin grew back. I feel like its totally healed. Do I need to get antibiotics for any sustained infection I may not be aware of?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, there is no need to take any antibiotics now. Your description is suggesting that your infection is cured. If the infection is not cured than skin never fuse, opening remains as such and there is discharge of pus coming out from it. So from now only maintaining good hygiene and small Chat Doctor. Extra antibiotics created in necessary resistance in you. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
