Skin wound
Got wounded on my hand, leg and lower left back by falling on the road during physical activity about 36 hours ago
Didn't receive deep cuts, but got abrasions.
Washed wounds thoroughly and applied antiseptic liquid (dettol) and antiseptic paste (fucidin) 2-3 times (after gaps of 12 hours appx).
This morning however saw pus formation on the palm of my hand and lower back wound.
Was wondering what to do about it. Should I apply antiseptic on it? Should I see a physician?
Thank you.

Kindly use Bactroban/T bact ointment after cleaning wound with warm water and betadine solution in it.
Above combination dries up the wound faster.
No dressing required for your wounds.
No antibiotics needed.
Also tab dolo may be taken if painful.
Next Steps
Maintain wound hygiene.
