Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggest you to do culture and sensitivity testing of the discharge from the button. Without sensitivity, it won't respond to any antibiotics. I advise you to maintain local cleanliness, Chat Doctor.  Also apply newsprint powder. Take oral antibiotics according to your sensitivity report and your infection will be cured in the week. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
