Have Itchy Rash On Leg, Oozing Yellow Liquid. Using Fucidin Cream And Antibiotic. Boils All Over Body. Related?

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing here.
The description seems to be infected eczema. Sometimes when we scratch boil like lesions they get ruptured and secretions coming out can irritate our skin leading to eczema. This irritation again leads to scratching and causing secondary infection by bacteria and other germs.
Do complete the course of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. Wash only with water. Do not apply any soaps, harsh antiseptics over it, otherwise it will lead to more irritation. You can apply cold sponging which will give you a soothing effect.
You can start oral antihistaminic like Cetrizine and apply a steroid antibiotic combination like Fucibet over the affected area for few days. They are available over the counter.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
