A member asked:

How long will it take for a tiny soft skin infection to heal on an antibiotic . i have been on for 3 full days and have 4 more days to go on antibiotic and this tiny sore is still red?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best to finish the antibiotics then evaluate the skin infection. The area where the infection was can still stay a pinkish-red color for some time after the infection is treated. It takes time to fade. What is most important is to finish all the antibiotics. Follow-up with your doctor if any concerns after the antibiotics are done.
