Brief Answer:
Looks like bacterial infection, oral & topical antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be impetigo which is a bacterial infection of the skin.
I would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics.
I would recommend you to take tablet cephalexine twice daily for 5 days and apply mupirocin cream or fusidic acid cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
