No, really, the wound look very good now, but I'll need to make another more complete wash, as some spot are still wounded.

Now ask yourself if the caustic(drain cleaner grade) might work much better :P ?

Soap is a well-known disinfectant and cleaning agent! :P

I recently experienced something similar last Spring; on my left rib-cage and forearm. Both areas were so raw, painful, and persistent that I thought it must be shingles; it resembled alligator skin. However, it turned out to be eczema; never did determine precisely what caused it, but it was probably either the nickel in a metal wrist watch band I'd begun wearing, or a new laundry soap I'd started using.
Evidently, the outbreak doesn't necessarily always occur where the irritant comes in contact with one's skin; ie, exposure in the area of the fingernails sometimes manifests itself in the form of a rash on the eyelids.
Cosmetics, latex, nickel, and soaps seem to be common causes; but certain foods and plants can also be the source.
I was prescribed triamcinolone 0.1 % cream, a corticosteroid commonly used to reduce the redness and swelling associated with a variety of skin conditions. Took a couple weeks to get it under control, and it still occasionally flares up. Especially after I've been outside in the heat working, getting dirty, and sweating; which I was warned that it might do.
