A Couple Of Months Ago I Dropped A Small Serrated

Streptococcus and staphylococcus skin infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the photo you attached and you are suffering a skin infection caused by streptococci or staphylococcus or both.
We call this type of infection exthyma , skin infection that extend deeper into the dermis, heal with scarring. It is highly contagious.
You should continue to disinfection it with oxygenated water and betadine. Use antibacterial creams. You should take oral antibiotics and the best way is to do a culture of the fluid that comes out of it and take the antibiotic which comes out of antibiograme. Penicillin derivates works well on it and we empirically treat it with cloxacillin.
You should take a prescription for antibiotics at your GP.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
