I cut the inside of my arm the other day. i know it's infected, so how do i treat it with home remedies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor asap: If it is infected you will need antibiotics prescribed by your doctor before it gets worse . In the meantime wash with soap and water, put antibiotic ointment on it and warm compresses until you see your doctor.
