Answered by Dr. Anju Methil
Open wounds can be painful and may indicate an underlying issue like a skin ulcer, often caused by factors such as poor circulation or prolonged pressure. While antibiotics may help prevent infection, she must seek medical attention to assess her condition properly. Continuing medications without guidance could be ineffective or harmful. Encourage her to visit a dermatologist who can provide a tailored treatment plan, possibly including proper wound care, pain management, and further evaluation.
