A member asked:
How do i take care of a small skin ulcer at home? it was a bump on my leg from folliculitis and it abbcessed
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin ulcer: If the ulcer is not draining, and you are taking antibiotics or other prescribed treatment, i would recommend that you keep it closed for extra protection with a gauze dressing or bandade depending on how big it is. Otherwise, keep up with normal daily routine.
