As the wound is over ur knee it takes time bcos when you walk and bend your knees it doesnt allow to heal quickly...So this looks like a abrasion so it would take another weeks time if u follow wound care properly...Do not use dettol...I will prescribe you a better oinment...

Next Steps

U can come on text consultation
