Brief Answer:
Ulceration
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
You have developed ulceration.
The creams you are using contain steroid and can aggravate the situation.
You require treatment with oral and topical antibiotics.
I treat such cases with a combination of oral tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for a week and ointment mupirocine to be applied twice daily for a week.
This combination will help you.
In future try to trim the hair using a trimmer instead of shaving.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
