I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?
