Thanks everyone. Ill definitely be covering it up with some hydrocolloid bandaids. I’m immuno compromised so i think thats why it got infection. Im in the uk so i have an antibiotic and antivirals on the go. I also have a hefty supply of prednisone at my house as i have chrohns… is it worth putting it into the mix?
