[|Human|] I met with an accident and had wounds on the leg.The dressing was initially done with betadine but i could not see much improvement in would healing process.The doctor then asked me to use T-bact(2% mupirocin).would like to know whether this would be useful in healing. I applied ointment thrice and I see that the ointment is accumilated (not absorbed)in the wound(in the groove) and i am finding it difficult to clean it up. Is it ok if it remains that way. Is there an efficient method of cleaning it up. Can u pls suggest any alternative ointment l
[|AI|]  Hello than to contact Chat Doctor. If I am your treating doctor I would like to tell you that Betadine is the good antiseptic. But if you find it difficult to get treated I advise you to go for culture and sensitivity of the wound. Once you got the result for culture and sensitivity you take antibiotics which is sensitive to bacteria infected to you. Till that time you continue with the Betadine, because the Betadine is the best ointment to cure the infection. I also advice you to maintain hygiene, because maintaining the hygiene will cure your half of your problem. If you have anything else to ask kindly contact us.
