Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Apply dactarin ointment to it. Protect it from heat, water, and dust. Keep it clean. It's something that needs to be treated well but won't become something potentially life-threatening.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Dermatologists in Karachi and seek in-person advice.
