3 days ago my mother has got 2 inches long, 0.5 inches wide cut on the head due to falling, I've applied'betadine' lotion and covered it properly, but today when opened for re-dressing, it was slightly stinking. Why so? What can I do to cure it? (she is 60 years old, also suffering from Huntington)
