5 days back my daughter fell on the stairs and got her forehead bruise. It look like a very minor bruise but over the last 3 days she experienced itching and has scratched the area and made it look like bruise. This has resulted in pus formation and yesterday the doctor while cleaning the wound has suggested us to see the surgeon. As a precautionary measure, they have given antibiotics of which 2 doses have been taken. Today morning there is some swelling above on the eye brow area. Is this normal?
Hi, The abrasion over forehead has got infected due to the scratching. Finger nails contain bacteria and the wound was contaminated when your daughter scratched the wound. This caused seeding of bacteria on the forehead and pus formation. You must see the surgeon and continue giving her antibiotics. This has to be watched for 10 days. If the wound does not start healing then even after that then surgical incision and Chat Doctor.
