Hello! I have a cut on my foot and from that cut I have a hard and painful red line going up my foot. My doctor precribed antibiotics but the pain is getting worse and the red line is getting bigger. I m not sure what this is and what I can do. Please can you help me! Regards Michelle YYYY@YYYY
Hello, A cut that is hard and painful can be an infected wound that may need a proper cleansing and debridement along with broad-spectrum antibiotics. You need to consult a surgeon for proper management.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
