Raw Skin, Deep Wound, Infection?

I sanded off a small chunk of skin (diy tattoo removal) last night.





Now my skin is raw and red all around the area the ink used to be, and right where the ink was once the skin is white and has pus.





What should I apply to kill infection and help it heal? Topical creams are best, but I'll listen to any suggestions.

Raw Skin, Deep Wound, Infection?
If it's that deep, you probably shouldn't be putting topical stuff in it. You made need an oral antibiotic.





If you can, get it evaluated at a clinic or ER. It sounds pretty nasty and you don't want to get a blood infection or worse.





Good luck!
Reply:peroxide is the best to clean it than put triple anti biotic on it .if it doesnt heal you better call a dr.asap. theyll put you on a anti biotic.
Reply:my oh my. go to the local drugstore and get yourself some triple antibiotic ointment. wash the area gently but well with a gental soap and water. slather the area with the ointment and then cover it up with a sterile gauze dressing. you need to change the dressing when they get soaked. if the infection gets worse like if the redness starts to spread up your arm or if the pain gets much worse, then go to the emergency room. you may need an oral antibiotic. oh, and don't sand off any more skin.
