If the wound and/or area of infection is small then an antibiotic cream such as fusidic acid may be prescribed. If the wound is larger, or the infection seems to be getting worse, then an antibiotic to be taken by mouth (oral antibiotic) is needed. One of a number of antibiotics may be used for wound infections.
Whenever the skin has been damaged, there is potential for infection. The wound and the stitches that hold it together may be cleansed gently with mild soap and water after 24 hours. Twice daily washing may decrease the risk of infection. Sometimes, your doctor may recommend the use of an antibiotic ointment like bacitracin or Neosporin to help minimize infection. It is important to avoid getting the wound dirty or very wet. Briefly showering may be advisable, but swimming should be avoided until the stitches are removed. Kids should avoid playing in the mud, sand, or water. A bandage or other covering might be necessary if the wound rubs up against clothing or if it is draining fluid.
