Is there anything I can do to treat my injury?

Question

I fell on a hike and got a small cut on my leg with a tree branch. I cleaned the wound and put a band-aid on it, but two days later it still stinks. Hi, I don't have a fever or pain anywhere else on my leg. Thank you for your help!

Good morning, ma'am, Do you have any other symptoms such as pain further down the leg, fever or other? Are you able to upload some well-lit images? Thanks for the feedback, sorry for my delay! For most superficial wounds, just keep the area clean with water and mild soap and then cover with a bandage as you did. Only change the dressing once a day unless it gets wet or dirty. If the pain, redness or swelling increases, or if there is pus draining, you should seek medical attention as a precaution. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
