oral antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g either amoxicilin or cephalexin for a week or 10 days. It is a prescription drug.

Hope I have answered your query.Let me know if you need any more assistance

Thank you Dr.Kakkar
Do you think dupixent could help me. I have already taken an antibiotic which did not help a whole lot

Brief Answer:
Regarding skin infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
The skin condition definitely warrants an oral antibiotic with/ without antiseptic soaks like potassium Permanegnate (KMNO4) soaks to take care of oozing. If an antibiotic didn't work previously, probably you need a stronger antibiotic this time.
Take care
