I've been dealing with some really slow-healing wounds from a minor bike accident recently. I hurt my fingers, palm, and knee trying to save a dog on the road. I've already taken a tetanus shot and completed a 5-day course of amoxicillin. I've also been dressing my wounds with betadine solution and now switched to using soframycin under the bandages. But it seems like the wounds arent healing as quickly as I'd hoped. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or any suggestions to speed up the healing process?

I've been using Momate as my doctor advised, but I stopped about a week ago. Since then, I noticed a few pimples popping up, which seemed normal at first. But today, I woke up with a bunch more on my face and neck. I'm really not sure whats going on. Can you help figure out what's happening and what I should do about it?
