I have a skin lesion on my calf that started as a pimple. It won't go away and is growing. What should I do?

Question

Is only getting bigger and it is very painful. The wound is not oozing, it has scabbed, it has no pu but it is red all around. I tried to put polysporin but no change. What can I do with this?

Good evening ma'am, Consultation is absolutely necessary in such a situation. Indeed, the use of Polysporin™ will be insufficient to make the wound heal. Consulting a doctor will allow the doctor to analyze the wound and perform debridement if deemed necessary. He or she may also prescribe antibiotics if he or she determines that the redness around the wound is caused by an infection. Good evening, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
