alt Hacker NewsNo. I had broken skin barrier. Pus coming out and dripping. The use of antibiotics was definitely warranted. Again, who do you want to decide whether the use of antibiotics is ok and under what conditions?
Should I be dying before you grant me antibiotics? What kind of nonsense is this?

For topical use, maybe an iodine spray would have been better suited. Iodine kills way more pathogens than antibiotics, and it's very good at that, and has no reported cases of resistance development.
I personally think you were given antibiotics needlessly just for the sake of it..
But yes, I think you should have developed some kind of infection, and being showing trouble of fighting it off, before you're given antibiotics.
