Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
As long as there is no pus or further inflammation ( increasing pain or redness in the area ), there is nothing to be concerned about. From the picture, it looks fine.
In case there is some pus, Mupirocin ointment needs to be applied twice daily.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
Thank you. I think I'm overly worried because skin cancer runs in both sides of my family. Freckles and moles worry me! If you think all is fine, I will too! Thank you.
I am glad I could help you. Take care
