I had a bike accident a few days ago and ended up with some skin scrapes. I've attached a photo. I'm trying to decide between using Betadine or Tbact mupirocin. Can you help me understand the difference between the two, and which one might be better for healing this kind of wound?

I'm really worried because I found this circular indentation on my chest, and now I have these reddish spots on my skin. There's a bit of pain, and I'm also having trouble breathing and swallowing properly. It's starting to freak me out. What could this be, and should I be really concerned about it?

if you had any injury recently in that area , get a chest xray done and proceed
