Open wound after sclerotherapy. Help please! (Photo)

AllisonMH
Two week before Christmas, 2014, I had sclerotherapy after many months of laser therapy and vein removal. A scab appeared in my left leg and started to hurt. The doctor told me he must have injected too much into that area and to put neosporin on it. It's been almost 2 months. It's not any better and itches constantly and feels like a stabbing pain. I am now having a reaction to neosporin. Some days it's bleeding and oozing clear fluid and it always feels hot. Help please!
