Hello doctor, I had an accident two months ago that severely injured my knees, making it impossible for me to walk for a week. I applied nebasulf sprinkling powder and betadine ointment for a few days, and I thought everything would be fine, but one part of the wound healed almost completely, while another part developed a bulge that was getting harder every day and hurting me. Please provide me your quick advice on how to heal my wound.
A painful, hard bulge at the old wound site after injury may be due to a localized infection, abscess, or scar tissue like Keloid or Abscess. Since it is painful and getting harder, it should not be ignored. Avoid pressing or applying random creams; you can continue gentle cleaning and use an antiseptic like Betadine, but the most important step is to consult a doctor soon, as it may need antibiotics or drainage if infected. Early treatment will prevent complications and help proper healing.
