Good morning, ma'am, In order to better understand the situation, would it be possible to obtain the following information: How long have you had these symptoms? Is it due to a shock, injury or other? Are you able to upload a picture? Thank you Thanks for the feedback! If you have been applying Polysporin for a week, I would advise you to stop, as it can in some cases slow down the healing process. For now, only basic hygiene with water and mild soap is necessary If the swelling increases or remains persistent without it being due to the continuous tearing of the skin around it, you will unfortunately have to consult a doctor. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
