Which antibitocs are best for infected nose piercings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin soft tissue: Skin and soft tissue infection need coverage based on background. Was a clean device used? If so a simple oral cephalosporin will help. They are all prescription and you will need to see your MD.
