A member asked:
I have a sore on my elbow which heals up then comes back after a couple of days, and its starting to weep and crusts over?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recommendation : With weeping wound or sore you need to clean it out first. Use benzoyl peroxide to wash out, then dry and put alcohol or iodine. Antibacterial ointment should help if you put it for night. If no improvement in few days go to the doctor for antibiotic.
