Brief Answer:
Abscess
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph .
You have developed an abscess which has ulcerated now.
These are bacterial infections.
I treat such cases with a strong oral antibiotic like combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
Along with that topical antibacterial like mupirocine is also helpful.
This combination gives excellent response.
As antibiotics are prescription drug you need to get them prescribed by a doctor.
You can try this and let me know the results.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you
