What to do about infected wound?

[WTHamI?]

I had a few moles removed and biopsied a week and a half ago, "punch" style with two stitches each. Three sites are healing fine but the fourth (inside of my arm) never really started to heal properly and I can tell it's getting infected. I am allergic to literally ALL topical antibiotics, and I really don't want to take anything systemic right at the beginning of cold & flu season, that's a last resort for me but I expect probably what the dermatologist would prescribe.

Any suggestions? Anything natural with antibacterial properties like garlic or coconut oil, or maybe hydrogen peroxide?

Maybe consider some silver spray. I use it topically for all of our cuts, scrapes, burns, and wounds.

Tea tree oil has always healed infections really fast for me.

Tea tree oil, definitely.

Thanks everyone. I'll go hunt down some tea tree oil tomorrow.
