How to see doctor: Infected wounds need antibiotics. Try these public health facilities to see a doctor there at low or no cost. Foothill Community Health Center https://www.sjffcc.org/ or Santa Clara County Public Health Department https://www.sccgov.org/sites/phd/Pages/phd.aspx Get seen before the infection becomes more serious.
