You can use hydrogen peroxide or saline to rinse, and then use iodine tincture to disinfect. You need to take some antibiotics, the more common ones are metronidazole, levofloxacin, etc.

What to do if the foreskin is broken and suppurated

Generally speaking, if the wound is festering and there is not too much pus and no tissue necrosis, you can use hydrogen peroxide or saline to rinse the wound, and then disinfect it with iodine. At the same time, take some oral antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, metronidazole, etc.

If the wound is severely festering and tissue necrosis occurs, the stitches need to be removed according to the circumstances. Tissue necrosis must be cleaned in time, and routine dressing changes such as iodine sand strips should be continued for several days after debridement, combined with oral antibiotic treatment. If routine dressing changes are performed and there is still no sign of growth in the wound, the wound should be treated with a closing dressing prescription, and attention should be paid to observation and care during the dressing changes.

Wound infection and suppuration generally require auxiliary treatment with antibiotics. The use of antibiotics in antibiotic treatment mainly includes monotherapy, ditherapy and triple therapy, which vary significantly from hospital to hospital. The main combination therapy is cephalosporin + metronidazole, and the majority of triple therapy is cephalosporin + metronidazole + aminoglycosides.

Precautions

In addition to wound dressing treatment, attention should also be paid to wound care. Pay attention to changing and washing underwear regularly. At the same time, sexual intercourse is prohibited. Pay attention to sweating less and moving less to avoid affecting the wound. Keep the wound clean and dry, and maintain a good and positive attitude, so that you can recover soon!
