Brief Answer:
Looks like bacterial skin infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query and picture. It looks like bacterial skin infection. Using Neosporin triple antibiotic ointment for local application will be helpful for this. After washing with warm saline you can apply this.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
