Thank you for your question! If you are healthy and your lesion is less than a week old, you can soak or compress it with Dakin solution (one tablespoon or 30ml of LA PARISIENNE bleach + 1 liter of boiled water cooled down) 2 to 3 times a day for 15 minutes. You can consult a doctor if there is no improvement Kind regards! Thao Bui, pharmacist
